The FDA's list of hand sanitizers to avoid continues to grow and is now over 100 different products by 23 manufacturers.

The List created by the FDA is meant to protect consumers from hand sanitizer:

  • That has been tested by FDA and found to contain methanol.
  • That is labeled to contain methanol.
  • That is being recalled by the manufacturer or distributor.
  • That is subpotent, meaning it has less than the required amount of ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol.
  • That is purportedly made at the same facility as products that have been tested by FDA and found to contain methanol.

Update most recently on July 31, 2020, the FDA's list includes 103 products from 22 Mexican and 1 American manufacturer.  So, if your hand sanitizer says Made in Mexico (or is made by Leiper’s Fork Distillery in Tennessee), you might want to see if it is one of the hand sanitizers on this list.

The FDA advises consumers not to use the following products.
