[Pharmwaste] RE: hand sanitizer

[Walters, Scott (DEP)]

The bottle I have uses isopropyl alcohol, not ethanol.  Hope no one drinks it.

Let's see, 62% Ethyl Alcohol= 124 proof? Jack Daniels is what?

Our school system is putting these out in all of the schools at the recommendation of the County Health Department in response to H1N1.  Our Fire Department expressed reservations but they decided to go ahead with it.  I assume it is an alcohol based product because of the fire department concern.

I read an article where a child was poisoned by alcohol sanitizer recently.  Its only a matter of time before a child dies, or they start getting the swift idea of lighting it.  My own step-son was required by the school to bring a bottle to begin the year.  This is a clear example of bringing an item to market, and not enough controls.  Everyone thinks sanitizer is so great.

Anyone else being requested to bring it to school?
