What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall, which per the rubric establishes a minimum severity level of 4 (Severe). The hazard—packaging that resembles a consumable product and could lead to accidental ingestion of a toxic substance—presents significant risk of harm even without reported illnesses to date.
Plain-English summary
American Screening LLC is recalling AmericanScreening HAND SANITIZER (ethyl alcohol 70%) ANTIMICROBIAL FORMULA with Vitamin E & Moisturizer, 8 FL OZ (237 mL) bottles. The product comes with either a black or clear top and bears UPC 8 40050 51579 2. Approximately 153,336 bottles have been distributed nationwide in the USA.
The recall is due to labeling and packaging that does not adequately distinguish the product from drinking water bottles. This resemblance creates a risk that consumers, particularly children, could accidentally ingest hand sanitizer, which is a hazardous substance not intended for ingestion.
Black-capped bottles have expiration dates of 5/21/2022 and 05/24/2022 but no lot numbers. Clear-capped bottles contain neither lot numbers nor expiration dates.
Consumers who have purchased this product should stop using it and contact their healthcare provider or poison control if accidental ingestion occurs. The product should be stored safely out of reach of children.
