This hand sanitizer was recalled because people might want to drink it

[Yoni Heisler]

Over the past year, we saw well over 100 separate hand sanitizer products recalled due to the presence of methanol, a substance that is toxic to humans when absorbed through the skin. For those unfamiliar, methanol exposure can cause any number of health issues, including blindness, seizures, vomiting, and in some rare cases, even death.

The latest hand sanitizer recall, however, has nothing to do with methanol. In fact, the reason behind Prarie Wolf Spirits' decision to voluntarily recall 16.9 fluid ounce and 20 fluid ounce containers of its own hand sanitizer is because the bottles look like water bottles and there are well-grounded fears that someone might mistakenly pick one up and start taking a swig.
