The FDA shared that methanol “is not an acceptable active ingredient for hand sanitizers, and must not be used due to its toxic effects.” The FDA is asking customers to safely dispose of the sanitizer in question (view full lists here and here). Additionally, the FDA says its working to correct “false and misleading” claims on hand sanitizers being sold during the COVID-19 pandemic — primarily, on those that promise 24-hour protection against viruses like COVID-19.
