Hand sanitizer in containers that resemble water bottles are being recalled after the The Food and Drug Administration said the bottle could lead to risk of consumption.
“The hand sanitizer is packaged in 8 oz. containers that resemble water bottles posing a risk of consumption,” the FDA said in a statement.
The recall includes 153,336 units of hand sanitizer, which contain 70% ethyl alcohol gel. The product was sold nationally in stores and online.
“Ingesting hand sanitizer, which is intended for topical use, could potentially result in alcohol toxicity,” the FDA said. “Symptoms of alcohol toxicity may range from lack of coordination, slowed or slurred speech, drowsiness to coma, which can be fatal.”
American Screening LLC, the Louisiana company responsible for the product, has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall, the FDA said.
