Class II · Moderate risk Ongoing Initiated Sep 29, 2025 (13 months ago)

Afco

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

cGMP deviations: The recall was initiated because required receipt testing of incoming alcohol components used to manufacture the listed hand sanitizers was not performed, so methanol risk could not be excluded.

Cause type: Chemical / undeclared

A chemical that should not be there - benzene, methanol, lead - or an undeclared prescription drug hidden in a supplement. The label gives no warning: you may be taking a toxic solvent, a heavy metal, or a drug such as sildenafil that interacts with your other medicines. All chemical / undeclared recalls.

D-0005-2026 · FDA notice

Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall.
