As the use of hand sanitizers, especially the alcohol-based ones are proving to be dangerous. Thus, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has alarmed the consumers that the alcohol-based hand sanitizers are currently being sold packaged in the containers appearing as food or drinks and this is likely to put the consumers’ life at risk in case it is ingested. There are many who could mistakenly consume these hand sanitizers and thereby, taking away their lives. The government agency has found hand sanitizers being sold in beer canes, water bottles, vodka bottles, juice bottles, infant food pouches, and several other packages. Furthermore, there are few manufacturers who have added flavors like chocolate and raspberry to the hand sanitizers.
The new trend is anticipated to have caused a lot of confusion among the consumers and thereby, putting their lives at more risk. It is best advised that consumers check and confirm any product brought before use. The scariest part is the sale of alcohol-based hand sanitizers in the cartoon-printed pouch that resemble a snack. Drinking even a small amount of hand sanitizers could kill a young child. The major reason for attraction is the pleasant smell and color that makes alcohol-based hand sanitizers more appealing for the consumers.
Hand sanitizer is found to have adverse effects such as cardiac effects, nervous system problems, hospitalization, and ultimately death. It basically poisons our entire body system, thereby leading to deterioration of health. For any query, the consumers must refer FDA guidelines on safe use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers. The FDA thus urges people like medical professionals and consumers to report to FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program in case of any adverse effects or quality issues. FDA is thus on the run to guide manufacturers as well as encourage retailers to remove potentially dangerous hand sanitizer products from their store shelves and online marketplaces.
