The U.S. FDA Warns of Hand Sanitizer Brand With ‘Unacceptable Levels’ of Cancer-Causing Chemicals

The FDA is advising consumers to avoid unscented ArtNaturals hand sanitizers, which contain “unacceptable levels” of benzene, acetaldehyde, and acetal.

The first two contaminants are known carcinogens, while the third can irritate the upper respiratory tract, eyes, and skin.

Consumers are urged to stop using ArtNaturals hand sanitizers immediately and throw the products away, ideally in a hazardous waste container.
