UNDATED – Scentsational Soaps & Candles has expanded its April 27 recall of scented Hand Sanitizers to include three lots of Goose Creek Hand Sanitizer (NDC 75078-004) + Aloe and one lot of Coco TKO Hand Sanitizer in 3.38 and 3.4 fluid ounce spray bottles.
These products are being recalled after testing revealed the presence of methanol (wood alcohol), benzene, and acetaldehyde. These products were sold on the Internet and distributed nationwide in the USA by Goose Creek Candles, LLC and Coconut Stand.
Substantial methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system, or death.
Although all persons using these products on their hands are at risk, young children who accidentally ingest the products and adolescents and adults who drink the products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute are most at risk for methanol poisoning. Exposure to benzene can occur through inhalation, oral, and skin.
There is a reasonable probability that benzene present at levels above the maximum daily exposure recommendations can result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders which can be life-threatening.
Additionally, animal studies have shown that acetaldehyde can possibly cause cancer in humans.To date, the company has not received any reports of adverse reactions related to this recall.
BACKGROUND: The products being recalled are used as hand sanitizers and marketed to help decrease bacteria on the skin when soap and water are not available.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Consumers, distributors, and retailers that have the hand sanitizers which are being recalled should stop using, distributing and/or selling them and return them to the place of purchase.Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they have experienced problems that may be related to taking or using this product.
