Here's why your hand sanitizer may be ineffective or tainted by cancer-causing chemicals:

To take advantage of the steep discount, Rolling Still would need to come up with $60,000 and take possession of a huge tank of the stuff.

“They send us a sample and it’s just God awful...it’s got acetaldehyde and benzene and all kind of nasty stuff in it; it’s not pure,” Coutu told me over the phone. “What are trying to do is dump it off to these companies that run it through charcoal and try to do a million other things to make it USP grade , which it’s still not.”

“You’re seeing less pure forms get into the market because there is a shortage of ethanol,” says Mike Sandoval, President and Chief Operating Officer of. “We see tert-butyl impurities, we see methanol, we see benzene in many of the hand sanitizers we test... We’ve seen some tequila grade ethanol that when you open the bottle it smells terrible, unless you like tequila... we’re seeing a lack of transparency in this space.

“The agency’s investigation of contaminated hand sanitizers is ongoing,” the FDA said in an email. “Producing, importing and distributing toxic hand sanitizers poses a serious threat to the public and will not be tolerated.”... [+] This brings up yet another concern, which is the shortage of proper plastic bottles and containers for sanitizer. Sandoval suspects that some manufacturers may have resorted to using the wrong type of containers, which then react with the alcohol, leaching chemicals into the sanitizer and turning its color.Covering the stink of subpar sanitizer

Just kill us all! Please!!

Take care not to use china made hand sanitizer as they will use Methanol instead of Ethanol (coz Methanol is much cheaper) also, china fty always will put not 'enough' Ethanol in, e.g. it marks 75%, they may only put 65% (99% did) I am in this industrial, I know what they did!!

Guess I better stop drinking it.

Great....something else to worry about
