美國食品和藥物管理局（Food and Drug Administration，縮寫為FDA）擴大了「禁用」洗手液清單。據悉，這些產品中可能含有毒、甚至致命的甲醇。
「今日美國」報導，6月份，FDA警告消費者不要使用9種洗手液，因為它們可能含有甲醇。現在，該機構在圖表上列出59種應避免使用的洗手液品種，其中一些已經被召回，其它產品正在被建議召回，同樣是因為它們可能含有潛在的致命成分——甲醇。
自從2月份以來，洗手液一直是抗擊中共病毒（武漢肺炎）的流行產品。在包括Purell在內的許多品牌短缺之後，許多新型洗手液進入市場。
FDA表示：「看到標明含有乙醇的洗手液產品在急劇增加，但經測試後對甲醇污染呈陽性。」
甲醇是可通過皮膚吸收或吸食進入體內的有毒物質。疾病控制和預防中心（CDC）表示，甲醇在工業上用作溶劑、農藥和替代燃料來源。接觸它可能導致噁心、嘔吐、頭痛、視力模糊、永久性失明、癲癇發作、昏迷、神經系統永久性損害和死亡。
FDA說，意外攝入洗手液的兒童和喝洗手液作為酒精替代品的年輕人，甲醇中毒的風險增加。
CDC說，清潔雙手的最佳方法用肥皂和水洗手至少20秒鐘。如果這種方法不可行，該機構建議使用酒精含量至少為60%的酒精類洗手液。
FDA建議消費者不要使用以下洗手液，因為測試發現它們含有甲醇或「據稱與FDA測試並確認甲醇污染的產品在同一設施製造」：
