Hand Sanitizer Gel Recalled Due to Methanol Contamination Risk
Global Sanitizers LLC is recalling MEDICALLY MINDED ANTIMICROBIAL Hand Sanitizer Gel (70% ethyl alcohol) due to manufacturing deviations. Products were made under the same conditions as a lot 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 involving potential methanol contamination in a topical product used on skin. Methanol is toxic and can cause serious harm through dermal absorption or accidental ingestion, particularly in hand sanitizers that may be used by children or vulnerable populations. The manufacturing deviation that allowed methanol to enter a related lot elevates the risk level.
