Premium Nature Instant Hand Sanitizer Recalled for Subpotent Ethanol Content

Premium Nature Instant Hand Sanitizer is being recalled nationwide because some bottles were found to contain subpotent levels of ethanol. The FDA identified the issue during analysis of multiple bottle sizes.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a manufacturing defect (subpotent active ingredient) that reduces effectiveness but does not pose an acute safety threat. No hospitalization or serious injury has been reported.

Plain-English summary

Premium Nature Instant Hand Sanitizer, manufactured by AMS Packaging Inc and distributed nationwide, is being recalled due to subpotency of the active ingredient. FDA analysis revealed that some bottles of this product contained lower than labeled ethanol concentration.

The affected product is sold in multiple sizes: 2 OZ (60 ML), 4 OZ (118 ML), 16 OZ (473 ML), and 1 gallon bottles. All lots within expiry that are labeled "Made in the USA" are included in this recall.

Consumers who have purchased this product should stop using it and contact the manufacturer or retailer for further instructions. The subpotent formulation means the hand sanitizer may not provide the intended level of antimicrobial protection.
