Distribution of More Hand Sanitizer

FYI,

From Wendy:

Thanks to our FIDS Department, many of you who are responsible for public service areas will be receiving a large container of hand sanitizer on Monday, June 8. While the previous distribution was for staff use, this one is intended for public use as well. Please put it in a monitored location, such as a customer service desk or reference desk, but in a location where the public will understand they can use it as well.

Our goal is to reduce the spread of germs and prevent disease within our available resources. Your feedback is welcome.

Anyone know which hand sanitizers were recalled for making people sick? Anything Clarcon made...

Analyses of several samples of over-the-counter topical antimicrobial skin sanitizer and skin protectant products revealed high levels of various bacteria, including some associated with unsanitary conditions, according to the agency. Some of these bacteria can cause opportunistic infections of the skin and underlying tissues and could result in medical or surgical attention as well as permanent damage.

Examples of products that should be discarded include Citrushield Lotion, Dermasentials DermaBarrier, Dermassentials by Clarcon, Antimicrobial Hand Sanitizer, Iron Fist Barrier Hand Treatment, Skin Shield Restaurant, Skin Shield Industrial, Skin Shield Beauty Salon Lotion, Total Skin Care Beauty and Total Skin Care Work.
