据哥伦比亚新闻网（CBSNews）网站报道，近期美国食品药品管理局（FDA）发布警告称，市场各类酒精洗手液中含甲醇的产品越来越多，这种有毒成分可能透皮吸收，如果直接吞咽洗手液可致命。目前，已经召回及建议召回的消毒剂名单已经扩大到59种。

加拿大卫生部也发出警告，共11种市场上出售的洗手液含有工业酒精，工业酒精中会含有少量有较强毒性的甲醇、醛类、有机酸等杂质。工业酒精不能用于人体的消毒，因为甲醇用于皮肤消毒时，会有部分被皮肤吸收！摄入过量甲醇后，其慢性中毒反应为：眩晕、昏睡、头痛、耳鸣、视力减退、消化障碍。

急性中毒症状有：头疼、恶心、胃痛、疲倦、视力模糊以至失明，

继而呼吸困难，最终导致呼吸中枢麻痹而死亡。

美加两国回收的洗手液总数达70种。

加拿大回收的洗手液包括：

1. 产品名称：Eltraderm Hand Sanitizer – 70 % Ethyl Alcohol

公司名称：Eltraderm Limited

2. 产品名称：Hand Sanitizer

公司名称：Contract Packaging Distributions Inc.

3. 产品名称：Gel 700 Hand Sanitizer

公司名称：Nature’s Own Cosmetic Company Inc.

4. 产品名称：Sanilabs Hand Sanitizer 70% Ethanol

公司名称：Sanilabs Inc.

5. 产品名称：Walker Emulsions Hand Sanitizer

公司名称：Walker Emulsions Ltd.

6. 产品名称：Hand Sanitizer Désinfectant pour les mains

公司名称：Walker Emulsions Ltd.

疫情期间，FDA提醒每个人应经常用肥皂和水洗手至少20秒钟，尤其是去洗手间后、吃饭前，以及咳嗽、打喷嚏或擤鼻涕后。如果肥皂和水不容易得到，可使用乙醇含量60%以上的酒精洗手液快速消毒。

近期，因幼儿意外摄入洗手液，或青少年及成年人将其作为酒精替代品的饮用的甲醇中毒事件与日上升，包括失明、住院以及死亡等。FDA称，甲醇不是洗手液中应当含有的成分，如果含有这种物质，那么该洗手液将不得使用。

接触过含甲醇的洗手液并出现症状的消费者应立即寻求治疗，以逆转甲醇中毒的毒性效应。大量接触甲醇会导致恶心、呕吐、头痛、视力模糊、永久性失明、癫痫发作、昏迷、神经系统永久性损伤或死亡。外用洗手液的人有甲醇中毒的风险，但意外摄入或饮用的中毒风险最大。

当然，无论洗手液是否含有甲醇，饮用洗手液均存在安全风险，千万不可饮用。

FDA补充，以下几类洗手液同样属于不合格产品：

某些洗手液含乙醇或异丙醇量不符合要求；

洗手液含有虚假和误导性未经证实的宣传语，比如可以提供长期保护（24小时）；

未经FDA批准，但标明“已获得FDA批准”的产品；

包装成饮料、糖果或酒瓶的产品，由于其外观，很可能导致意外摄入。儿童接触这类产品的风险尤其大，摄入少量的洗手液可能对他们造成致命伤害。

FDA敦促消费者停止使用不合格的洗手液，将其丢弃在危险废物容器中，而不要直接冲入下水道。
