Mickey Mouse Hand Sanitizer and The Mandalorian Hand Sanitizer are being voluntarily recalled by Best Brands Consumer Products, Inc., the U.S. Food & Drug Administration announced. Both lots were produced by a third-party manufacturer and imported and distributed by Best Brands.

FDA testing found the presence of benzene in The Mandalorian Hand Sanitizer and the presence of methanol in the Mickey Mouse Hand Sanitizer.

Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen and substantial exposure "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."

The statement went on to say that "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 all persons using these products on their hands are at risk, young children who accidently ingest these products, and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute, are most at risk for methanol poisoning."

Best Brands was notified of the FDA testing in February 2022, but determined that affected lots were produced in April and May 2020 and confirmed that the affected lots were removed from shelves in April 2021 "for unrelated commercial reasons."
