Phoenix Medical Hand Sanitiser Quality Assurance

High Quality Hand Sanitiser

When the Coronavirus outbreak began earlier this year, many retailers started selling personal protective equipment (PPE) and sanitation products to fill high market demand. However, not all products are from a reputable source and may cause more harm than good.  

Hand sanitiser is essential for killing bacteria and preventing the spread of viruses, however not all sanitisers have the same specifications. The World Health Organisation (WHO) state hand sanitisers should contain at least 60% ethanol to kill COVID-19, but many brands contain less than 60% and include other harmful ingredients.  

Harmful Hand Sanitiser  

The Food and Drug Administration has recalled over 75 different hand sanitisers. This is due to the presence of methanol and insufficient amounts of ethanol and propane-2-ol. As a result, it means the recalled products are not effective at killing bacteria or viruses and can be extremely harmful. Methanol is acutely toxic to the nervous system and eyes. Absorbing methanol through your skin can lead to nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, blindness, coma and even death.  

Shield Hand Sanitiser Gel is just one of the products that have been recalled. It contains 3.4% of methanol but this has not been listed in the ingredients. Because of this, it is not only detrimental to health but also does not comply with the Biocidal Products and the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulations. This product was made in the UK and sold online, via channels like eBay but has since been removed from the online marketplace.
