What is the danger
The product contains an insufficient amount of ethanol and propan-2-ol (measured values: ≤ 50 % and ≤ 6 %, respectively). Consequently, it does not kill bacteria or viruses, which could then reach the user, increasing the risk of infection. Furthermore, the presence of alcohols is not accompanied by the appropriate hazard pictograms and warnings. Users have therefore no information on the toxicity and flammability of the product, which in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire.
Requirements breached
The product does not comply with the Biocidal Products and the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulations.
