Reported risk: Le produit contient une quantité insuffisante d'éthanol (valeur mesurée : ≤ 42 %). Par conséquent, il pourrait ne pas tuer les bactéries ou les virus, qui pourraient alors atteindre l'utilisateur, augmentant le risque d'infection. De plus, la présence d'éthanol n'est pas accompagnée des pictogrammes de danger et des avertissements correspondants. Les utilisateurs n'ont donc aucune information sur l'inflammabilité du produit, ce qui, en présence d'une source d'inflammation, pourrait conduire à un incendie. Le produit n'est pas conforme aux règlements sur les produits biocides et sur la classification, l'étiquetage et l'emballage (CLP).

Product Name (original English): Hand Sanitizer / Hand Desinfectiemiddel / Gel Mains Netoyant
Risk Description (original English): The product contains an insufficient amount of ethanol (measured value: ≤ 42 %). Consequently, it might not kill bacteria or viruses, which could then reach the user, increasing the risk of infection.
Additionally, the presence of ethanol is not accompanied by the corresponding hazard pictograms and warnings. Users have therefore no information on the flammability of the product, which in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire.
