Durisan hand sanitizer recalled over risk of serious infections

A hand-sanitizer maker is recalling a contaminated batch of its product that could cause an infection serious enough to land someone in the hospital.

The bottles of Durisan sanitizer contain two different types of bacteria that could infect someone who uses it by getting into the bloodstream through scrapes or wounds, a Food and Drug Administration notice says. While no complaints have been reported so far, there’s a risk the infections could grow severe enough to require hospitalization, particularly for people with compromised immune systems, according to the notice published last week.
