Hand Sanitizers: FDA updates list of "potentially toxic" products containing methanol

Potentially Hazardous Hand Sanitizers: The FDA's updated list of products to avoid.

He is about to end up run over, his mother saves him

We had already talked about the danger of hand sanitizers, some of which contain methanol, and now the FDA, Food and Drug Administration, warns of the presence of another toxic substance, the1-propanol or n-propyl alcohol, not to be confused with 2-propanol. An ingredient that, according to the FDA, cannot be used in hand disinfectants, as it is toxic and fatal if ingested.





For this reason, the FDA has urged consumers not to use products that contain it and to get rid of them immediately by throwing them in the appropriate containers for hazardous waste, expanding the list of hand sanitizers not to use.

The FDA said 1-propanol is 2 to 4 times more potent for the central nervous system than ethanol or regular alcohol. Therefore, if ingested accidentally, it can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression, causing symptoms such as "confusion, slow pulse and slow breathing."

The hand sanitizers reported by the FDA were mostly manufactured in Mexico, the agency recommended the recall and issued warnings to prevent importation to the United States.
