Hand sanitizer recalled for use of expired active ingredient

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a manufacturing deviation with expired active ingredient. The source reports no illnesses or injuries. Per the severity rubric, a risk-of-harm product with no reported injury scores 3 (High). The expired active ingredient undermines product performance, but without reported harm, the severity does not exceed High.
