Outro lote de desinfetantes para as mãos que podem oferecer riscos à saúde serão recolhidos das prateleiras dos supermercados pela Food and Drug Administration (FDA). A lista de recalls desses produtos já inclui mais de 100 marcas. Praticamente todas fabricados no México pela empresa 4E Global SAPI de CV (México). A agência estuda um jeito de impedir a entrada do fabricante nos EUA.
Em junho, a FDA alertou os consumidores sobre os altos níveis de metanol encontrados nesses desinfetantes, que podem ser tóxicos quando absorvidos pela pele e potencialmente fatais se ingeridos.
Agora, a reclamação é também pela quantidade insuficiente de álcool, que pode não surtir efeito algum para descontaminar a pele.
“Os resultados dos testes mostram que certos desinfetantes para as mãos têm níveis relativamente baixos de álcool etílico ou álcool isopropílico, que são ingredientes ativos nos produtos desinfetantes para as mãos”, disse a FDA em comunicado emitido na última sexta-feira, 31 de julho.
O Centros de Controle e Prevenção de Doenças (CDC ) recomenda que as pessoas usem desinfetante para as mãos à base de álcool com pelo menos 60% de álcool.
Confira a lista completa dos desinfetantes a serem evitados, segundo a FDA.
