Best Brands Consumer Products has issued a voluntary recall of two of its hand sanitizers: the Mandalorian Hand Sanitizer with 68% ethyl alcohol and Mickey Mouse Hand Sanitizer with 68% ethyl alcohol.
According to a company announcement, FDA testing found benzene in the Mandalorian product and methanol in the Mickey Mouse. Best Brands imported these two lots, which were produced by a third-party manufacturer.
The Mandalorian hand sanitizer has Grogu, also known as Baby Yoda, on the bottle and is available in green and blue forms. The Mickey Mouse product is blue.
Substantial exposure to methanol can cause nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, coma, seizures, permanent blindness, permanent damage to the central nervous system, or death.
Benzene, on the other hand, is a human carcinogen, and substantial exposure could cause leukemia, blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders.
