Last month we told you about a list of hand sanitizers that consumers needed to be aware of because it was possible they could contain methanol. Well, it looks like that warning list is really starting to grow as the FDA just added more products to be aware of.

According to ABC12, consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol and are experiencing symptoms should seek immediate treatment. Substantial methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death.

Apparently the FDA is aware of children and adults ingesting hand sanitizer that contained methanol which ultimately resulted in death. I understand toddlers getting their hands on it and drinking it like they would anything else because they don't know any better but not sure why adults are ingesting it.

The new list of products:
