Disney Hand Sanitizer Recall: Benzene & Methanol Detected In Mickey Mouse, Mandalorian Bottles
Two Disney-branded hand sanitizers are being recalled due to the presence of benzene and methanol being detected in the products.
Disney’s vendor, Best Brands Consumer Products, is voluntarily recalling two product lots of its Mandalorian Hand Sanitizer Ethyl Alcohol 68%, according to a press release Monday from the Food and Drug Administration.
Best Brands said the brands were produced by a third-party manufacturer.
The FDA reported that it found benzene in the Mandalorian Hand Sanitizer product and methanol in the Mickey Mouse Hand Sanitizer product.
Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen and exposure to it can cause cancer. Methanol exposure can cause nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, coma, seizures, permanent blindness, permanent damage to the central nervous system, or death, according to the FDA.
The release explains that young children who accidentally ingest these products are at the most risk for methanol poisoning.
Best Brands says that it has not received any reports of any adverse events yet. Consumers should contact their physician or healthcare provider if they experience any problems after using the product.
