Hand Sanitizer

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

Why it was recalled

CGMP Deviations: Voluntary recall of all hand sanitizer distributed after March 31, 2022, due to FDA issued guidance to cease placing hand sanitizer product, produced under temporary approval, into the market after March 31, 2022.

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.
