The FDA’s warning listing of such products has been expanded to 69 entries, some of which are sold at Costco and Walmart as well as online. Also be cautious of any brands that claim they are “FDA-approved” as it is not the same thing as being FDA registered and no hand sanitizers are approved by the FDA. It may be best to look for USDA Certified Organic products that are FDA registered.
“All Americans should practice good hand hygiene, which includes using alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available. Unfortunately, there are some companies taking advantage of the increased usage of hand sanitizer during the coronavirus pandemic and putting lives at risk by selling products with dangerous and unacceptable ingredients. Consumers and health care providers should not use methanol-containing hand sanitizers,” said FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn, M.D. “The FDA remains committed to working with manufacturers, compounders, state boards of pharmacy and the public to increase the safe supply of alcohol-based hand sanitizers. This includes staying vigilant and continuing to take action when quality issues with hand sanitizers arise.”

“The FDA recommends consumers immediately stop using these hand sanitizers and dispose of the bottle in a hazardous waste container, if available, or dispose of as recommended by your local waste management and recycling center. Do not flush or pour these products down the drain or mix with other liquids.”
Hand sanitizer is only recommended when soap and water is not available, and should be followed up with soap and water as soon as possible. It is recommended to wash our hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and when using a hand sanitizer the CDC recommends using an alcohol based one contains at least 60% ethanol.
