Hand sanitisers sold in Australian stores will be put to the test after consumer group Choice found a major brand was selling products well below the recommended alcohol content.
A hand sanitiser sold in Australian stores has been withdrawn from sale after it was found it might not contain enough alcohol to kill coronavirus.The consumer group said it will test a range of products to make sure they are safeConsumer group Choice said a hand sanitiser product sold by Mosaic Brands returned a result of 23 per cent alcohol.
The brand confirmed they had temporarily withdrawn the Air Clean Instant Hand Sanitiser from sale to undergo further testing, but disputed Choice's claims that the alcohol level was "far below what would have been effective against COVID-19". "In any market where there's significant demand but not very clear regulation about the nature of the products, there's a risk that some products would enter the market that are substandard."
