Thanks to the pandemic, many have amassed a pretty large collection of hand sanitizers. Recently, the FDA published a recall of two Disney-themed hand sanitizers produced and sold between 2020 and 2021.

According to information from the FDA, Best Brands Consumer Products, Inc. is voluntarily recalling both The Mandalorian Hand Sanitizer Ethyl Alcohol 68%, available in green and blue formulations, and Mickey Mouse Hand Sanitizer Ethyl Alcohol 68% blue formulation.
