You might remember a few months ago the Food and Drug Administration warned us about hand sanitizers that weren’t effective because they didn’t contain enough alcohol..at least 60% is required.
Now comes a new warning from the FDA about sanitizers that are actually harmful. These would be ones that contain METHANOL, and they can be toxic if absorbed through the skin. Read the label carefully. If it contains methanol, or less than 60% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, skip it. Here are the current brands to avoid:
