DiBAR LABS Hand Sanitizer Recalled for Methanol Contamination

DiBAR LABS Hand Sanitizer (70% ethyl alcohol) in 16 FL OZ and 8 FL OZ bottles is being recalled nationwide because other lots and products made under the same conditions were found to contain methanol.

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 II recall. Methanol contamination in hand sanitizer poses a significant health hazard, as methanol is toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested, potentially causing serious injury. Although the source text does not explicitly report illnesses or hospitalizations, the inherent danger of methanol in a topical product distributed nationwide justifies a Severe classification.
