There’s a lot of cheap Chinese made sanitizer hitting the market. Some of it may even be what the FDA would call “adulterated” eg mislabeled, and/or containing unapproved ingredients such as Methanol, or not containing the CDC recommended levels of alcohol.

The small bottles I’ve been seeing all over the place are near impossible to read, and they do that for a reason. Clear label on a clear bottle with clear liquid you can’t read it unless you photograph and zoom in.

I even saw one that was 35% ethanol and 35% isopropanol. The CDC recommends either 60% ethanol or 70% isopropanol. I would have to really crunch numbers between their specific gravity (they each have different weight on a volume basis) but I’m not sure that 35%/35% is adequate. I had never seen that before.

Labels mean nothing. Chinese manufacturers were putting formaldehyde-free labels on flooring made for export to the United States. The flooring was then sold by Lumber Liquidators. The stuff was full of formaldehyde.

Anything with the label “made in china”, put back on the shelf and tell store manager to stop selling chinese poisons.
