The FDA made a list of recalled products that contain methanol– the ingredient that's been making people sick:— Jamie Perez (@JamiePerezTV)“The issue that poison centers are having is that there is no methanol label listed anywhere on the product,” Stanton said.Stanton said since hand sanitizers were in short supply, other non-traditional companies started making them with methanol. Stanton said it’s not possible for the consumer to tell which products contain the ingredient.Stanton added that although it is possible to get sick from using the methanol-containing hand sanitizer on your skin, most people who are being poisoned by it are drinking it.“Adults may drink some of those products if they don’t have enough ethanol available,” Stanton said.&nbsp;“If a child gets a small amount of just an ethanol containing hand sanitizer, they can exhibit symptoms of inebriation and low blood sugar.”Stanton said proper use of the hand sanitizer should not cause someone to become sick. Experts also suggest buying hand sanitizer from a reputable company.The FDA compiled a list of recalled hand sanitizers containing methanol.
