FDA Now Says Over 75 Hand Sanitizers Are Toxic, Do Not Use These Brands

We have been buying hand sanitizer like there's no tomorrow, because that's how we feel right now. Even though we have trusted brands, we sometimes have to use brands we know nothing about because of short supplies of our favorites. Here is why you should not by just any hand sanitizer you come across. Every week, the FDA is discovering more hand sanitizers that could make you sick, send you to the hospital or even kill you.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, there are now over 75 different hand sanitizers that contain wood methanol, which is a toxic substance. Whether ingested or absorbed through the skin, the affects could be fatal.

Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol should seek immediate treatment, which is critical for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning.

Substantial methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death.

The FDA is especially concerned about the risk to children when hand sanitizers look like candy or drinks. Never drink any kind of hand sanitizer and keep them up and away from children.

Also, make sure that you don't fall for the FDA Approved labeling.  At this time, there are NO FDA approved hand sanitizers, even though some sanitzers may be marketed that way. Also, be warned of false claims like, prolonged protection - up to 24 hrs. Claims like this are misleading and unproven.

Some of the toxic hand sanitizers have been sold locally at Costco and Walmart.

The FDA has now included even more types of Blumen brand hand sanitizer to the recall list and are trying to get them from bring shipped to the United States.
