"TORONTO -- Health Canada has issued a recall and suspended the licence for PURE75 gel hand sanitizer after learning the product contains "elevated levels" of methanol that can cause serious health issues.

In a recall notice issued Thursday, the agency said tests conducted on the product found it contains the "undeclared impurity" of methanol, which is not authorized for use in hand sanitizers in Canada.

"Frequent exposure to hand sanitizers containing elevated levels of methanol may cause skin irritation, eye irritation, breathing problems, and headaches. If swallowed, methanol can cause severe adverse reactions, including death," Health Canada warned."

Wasn't there a bunch of different brands recalled a while back?
I've never used the stuff, I use soap. Always felt it was just a money grab preying on germaphobes, then it became "the norm" for most people.

This is what happens when companies that normally distill liquor get into the hand sanitizer biz. They gotta add "stuff" to make it so people can't/won't eat/drink it.

Guess they added a little too much "stuff"???

LOL
