What is the danger
The product contains an insufficient amount of ethanol (measured value: 462mg/g). Consequently, it does not kill bacteria or viruses, which could then reach the user, increasing the risk of infection. Moreover, 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.
Risk
La teneur en éhanol n'est pas suffisante pour assurer une action bactéricide et virucide suffisante
Requirements breached
The product does not comply with the Biocidals Products and the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulations.
