"Frequent use of these products may result in dry skin, causing irritation or cracking," reads the recall announcement. "Since industrial-grade ethanol has not been approved for use in hand sanitizers in Canada, the Department has not reviewed it for safety or efficacy."

Health Canada says to immediately stop using these products and to consult a healthcare professional if you've used any of these products and have health concerns.
