The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is warning consumers of potentially dangerous hand sanitizer brands that are using potentially harmful active ingredients. In June, the FDA released a list of nine (9) brands the FDA advised consumers not to use. As the ongoing investigation continues, the FDA has increased the number of brands they are advising consumers not to use.
In July, the FDA released a new update of 75 brands that are on the list of recalled hand sanitizers based off the FDA’s research. You can view the products, NDC(s), and the product status from the list below.
The testing and manufacture/distributor recalls are based on the following three reasons stated by the FDA:
- The FDA tested and found the hand sanitizer to contain methanol
- The product is directly being recalled by the manufacturer or distributor
- The products have been purportedly made at the same facility as products that have been tested by the FDA and found to contain methanol.
The chart below is data provided by the FDA of the 1) brands/manufacturer/distributor affected 2) their NDC(s) and 3) product status.
