Six hand sanitisers pulled off the shelves in Dubai

Wednesday, 1 April 2020 16:31

Dubai Municipality on Wednesday withdrew six types of hand sanitisers from the local market for not meeting the approved health and safety standards.

Inspectors ran lab tests on 102 hand sanitisers and found six to contain a highly toxic substance called methanol.

"It affects the nervous system, causes dizziness, headache, irritation of the skin and respiratory system, and causes blindness in severe poisoning cases," the civic body warned.

The products are:

LULU Hand Sanitizer - 500ml - Batch No. 320104
