The Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning over a potentially poisonous ingredient found in some hand sanitizers.
The FDA says some hand sanitizer products could be contaminated with methanol, which can be life-threatening if ingested and toxic if absorbed through the skin.
Methanol exposure can cause a host of symptoms including nausea, headaches, dizziness, amnesia, coma and seizures.
The use of ethanol alcohol-based hand sanitizers is still recommended by the FDA when soap and water are unavailable.
