Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, the FDA banned well over 100 hand sanitizer brands because they contained methanol, also known as wood alcohol. Methanol is especially dangerous because when absorbed through the skin, it can cause a range of serious health issues such as permanent blindness, seizures, and vomiting. Sadly, there were a handful of cases throughout the COVID pandemic that saw some people die from using hand sanitizer brands that had methanol as an ingredient.
In light of that, the FDA this week highlighted a product recall of hand sanitizer products manufactured by Scentsational Soaps & Candles, Inc due to the presence of methanol, benzene, and acetaldehyde. This recall is especially worth drawing attention to because the products in question were available throughout the United States and at large retail stores like Ulta, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls. The primary states where the products were sold include California, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Texas, Massachusetts, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia.
