OTC Hydrogen Peroxide Solution Recalled for Isopropyl Alcohol Contamination

Vi-Jon's hydrogen peroxide topical solution has been recalled due to cross-contamination with low levels of isopropyl alcohol. Multiple brands are affected nationwide in the USA and Canada.

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: FDA Class II recall with low-level isopropyl alcohol cross-contamination. No illnesses or hospitalizations have been reported despite millions of units in distribution. The source describes contamination as low-level, consistent with a precautionary recall rather than an immediate health emergency.
