Best Brands Consumer Products has recalled “The Mandalorian” hand sanitizer ethyl alcohol 68%, available in green and blue formulations and Mickey Mouse hand sanitizer ethyl alcohol 68% blue formulation.

Best Brands Consumer Products has recalled two Disney-themed hand sanitizers because both tested positive for harmful substances.

Recalled are “The Mandalorian” hand sanitizer ethyl alcohol 68%, available in green and blue formulations and Mickey Mouse hand sanitizer ethyl alcohol 68% blue formulation.

“FDA testing found the presence of benzene in ‘The Mandalorian ‘Hand Sanitizer product and methanol in the Mickey Mouse Hand Sanitizer product. Best Brands imported these two lots, which were produced by a third-party manufacturer,” the company said in an announcement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Benzene is a human carcinogen.

“Substantial exposure to benzene can occur through inhalation, oral, and skin and it may result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders, which can be life-threatening.”

Substantial exposure to methanol can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, coma, seizures, permanent blindness, permanent damage to the central nervous system, or death.

Although anyone who uses the hand sanitizers on their hands are “at risk, young children who accidentally ingest these products, and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute, are most at risk for methanol poisoning.”

Both products were already removed from sale in April 2021 “for unrelated commercial reasons.”

Hand sanitizers have been used more since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Health officials recommended using them when people could not wash their hands.

These recalled hand sanitizers were distributed nationwide in retail stores.
