On August 14, 2020, SG24 LLC recalled SkinGuard24 — All Day Hand Sanitizer because it is labeled as containing methanol, which is toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested.

The FDA first warned consumers about the possible presence of methanol in certain hand sanitizers in June and has continued to update consumers about potentially-affected products and recalls.

Recalled SkinGuard24 - All Day Hand Sanitizer products were distributed nationwide. They are packaged in PET or High-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic bottles or pens and as individually-packaged towelettes. All bottles have a teal and blue label that that says "SkinGuard24 - All Day Hand Sanitizer." They can be further identified by the following:

• Product name: SkinGuard24 — All Day Hand Sanitizer Plastic bottle with Foam Pump. Size: 8oz. UPC: 7 93573 147125. SKU: 051230024

Methanol, sometimes called wood alcohol, is poisonous. Methanol exposure through the skin or by ingestion can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death. The agency warned that consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol to "seek immediate treatment, which is critical for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning." 

All individuals who have recalled SG24 LLC hand sanitizer should immediately stop using it and return it to the place of purchase.

Methanol is a different form of alcohol than ethyl alcohol. Hand sanitizer containing at least 60% ethyl alcohol is recommended by the CDC for disinfecting hands when soap and water are not available, and is generally considered safe when used as directed. See the CDC's website for more information about using hand sanitizer.
