Aire-Master of America Inc is recalling 4,632 cartons of Stage 2-Ophardt Foaming Hand Sanitizer due to manufacturing deviations in the water system's microbial control. Product was distributed in Florida, Illinois, Iowa, and New Jersey.

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 no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is theoretical—potential microbial contamination resulting from a manufacturing process deviation—not confirmed contamination. This qualifies as a precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary

Aire-Master of America Inc is recalling approximately 4,632 cartons of Stage 2-Ophardt Foaming Hand Sanitizer, Fragrance-Free, 1000 mL bottles, manufactured for 2XL Corporation.

The recall was initiated due to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) deviations. The product was manufactured using deionized water from a system that lacked appropriate microbial control measures following the deionization process. This creates a potential for microbial contamination in the hand sanitizer.

The recalled product was distributed in Florida, Illinois, Iowa, and New Jersey. Affected product includes Lot 722712 (expiration 07/22), Lot 724755 (expiration 11/22), and Lot 725054 (expiration 12/22), with Product Number 46101.
