Four boys were burned. One mother shared pictures of her son on social media as a warning to parents.
Bharade allegedly mixed commercially available foaming sanitizer, which was not meant for resale, and water. Fourteen bottles were sold. Five bottles were turned over to police. Officers said nine bottles are unaccounted for.
Many have been making their own version of sanitzer amid coronavirus-related shortages.
Attorney General Gurbir Grewal slammed business owners price-gouging during the COVID-19 outbreak.
“Let me be perfectly clear: if you try to take advantage of our residents during a public health emergency, we will hold you accountable,” Grewal said. “Retailers who try to make a quick buck by exploiting others will face civil and criminal consequences.”
Anyone who purchased hand sanitizer from the River Vale 7-Eleven is asked to contact the River Vale Police Department at 201-664-1111.
On the flipside, the FDA won’t let whiskey manufacturers make hand sanitizer if they don’t add a bitterant to it ... so we can’t get new real, safe hand sanitizer supplies on the market. That forces the ignorant to make their own and often go wrong.
Would have been helpful to identify the state (New Jersey) without the need to click on the link. Not a big deal (though it happens a lot), just helpful ... besides, who the hell knows where River Vale is anyway? Cheers! (and thanks for posting the article)
