What is the danger
The product contains an insufficient amount of ethanol (measured value: ≤ 42 %). Consequently, it might not kill bacteria or viruses, which could then reach the user, increasing the risk of infection. Additionally, the presence of ethanol is not accompanied by the corresponding hazard pictograms and warnings. Users have therefore no information on the flammability of the product, which in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire.
