The Food and Drug Administration has added 10 more brands to its list of dangerous hand sanitizers, bringing the total to 165.
Officials say the banned products contain methanol and/or 1-propanol, both of which can be toxic. 1-Propanol is especially bad for children, per the FDA. To determine whether your brand of hand sanitizer is among the recalled products, visit the FDA’s website at FDA.gov.
