Hand Sanitizers are not Drinks!

Some hand sanitizers are being packaged in containers that look like food and drinks for adults and kids.

Some examples included packaging in beer cans, children’s food pouches, water bottles, juice bottles and vodka bottles. Some are also flavored such as chocolate or raspberry. This can disguise the sanitizer even more to smell like food.

Drinking or eating even a small amount of hand sanitizer can be lead to cardiac effects, central nervous system problems, hospitalizations and even death. Seek medical help immediately.
