Is Sanitaire Instant Hand Sanitizer poisonous?
Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can be poisonous if ingested in large amounts because they contain high levels of alcohol. A tiny lick at their sanitized skin shouldn’t hurt, but ingesting too much can cause alcohol poisoning. If the sanitizer is ingested give copious amounts of water to dilute. Seek medical attention immediately. We recommend supervising children at age 6 and under when using Sanitaire. However, due to Sanitaire’s unique formula, ingestion is made more difficult by an ingredient that induces vomiting, not allowing the alcohol to reach the user.
