Marketed Without an Approved NDA/ANDA: Product labeled to contain methanol making it an unapproved new drug and contains methanol
Valisa is recalling Kleantouch hand sanitizer products that contain methanol, an unapproved drug ingredient. This poses a risk of serious injury or death because methanol is toxic and not approved for human use in hand sanitizers.

Methanol can cause serious health issues including blindness, organ damage, and death if ingested or absorbed through the skin. The product is marketed as a hand sanitizer but is legally unapproved due to methanol content.
