Why it was recalled
CGMP Deviations: hand sanitizers were recalled because they were manufactured in the same facility as another hand sanitizer product with sub-potent ethanol levels.
Cause type: cGMP deviation
Departures from current Good Manufacturing Practice found in production or during FDA inspection. A broad quality-system cause: the batch was made under conditions that fall short of FDA manufacturing standards. All cgmp deviation recalls.

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.
