Fact checked

"Please dispose of this immediately. It may cause cancer and could led to serious illness or death."

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an alert warning Americans to immediately dispose of a popular brand of hand sanitizer that has been found to cause cancer.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an alert warning Americans to immediately dispose of a popular brand of hand sanitizer that has been found to cause cancer.

In a statement, the FDA said it found “unacceptable levels of benzene, acetaldehyde and acetal contaminants” in numerous artnaturals scent-free hand sanitizers. The sanitizers are labeled with “DIST. by artnaturals Gardena, CA 90248.”

“The exact risk from using hand sanitizer containing benzene, acetaldehyde, or acetal is unknown. However, benzene is a chemical that can cause certain types of cancer in humans. Likewise, studies show that acetaldehyde may also cause cancer in consumers and could led to “serious illness or death,” the FDA warned. 

Foxbusiness.com reports: Additionally, acetal can cause irritation in the upper respiratory tract, the eyes and the skin.  

The FDA said that it made “multiple attempts” to reach out to artnaturals regarding the sanitizers, “including identification of the manufacturer, possible recalls, and the scope of the contamination” but didn’t hear back as of Monday. 

As a result, the FDA is imploring consumers not to use the artnaturals hand sanitizer products, which have been added to its rolling list of potentially dangerous hand sanitizers. 

The agency began the list, which is now comprised of 260 products, in the early days of the pandemic after observing an increasing number of sanitizers testing positive for the harmful and potentially poisonous ingredients.   

However, the agency was specifically noticing a sharp increase in products that tested positive for methanol contamination which is another unacceptable “ingredient for hand sanitizers and must not be used due to its toxic effects.” 

Any product on the list should be disposed of “immediately,” according to the FDA.

  1. Yeah but stick your new apple buds in your ears and keep your eyes focused on your blue screens and surround yourself in 5g. Walk eat live work sleep in an EMF minefield and be happy.

    • Hey St u p i d people, this has been known for at least 2 decades. Never use hand sanitizers. Do not trust any of them.
      FYI… Another poison you should know about is High Fructose Corn syrup, its in too many things, even pancake syrup. The syrup from corn has mercury in it from manufacturing. Mercury in any amount causes multiple health conditions and diseases. Doctors will ignore it, too. Cure is Andrew Cutler protocol.

    • Masons have been ordered to kill you, and they want most of the masons dead, too. Most masons are for show, to look charitable. They will kill you and their own tools.
