^^ The FDA is currently seeking recalls against these.

@0x56
And the companies are currently telling the FDA to go fuck themselves, which apparently happens quite often with manufacturers of dangerous foods and drugs. So this is one worth reposting. Methanol is no joke.

@0x56 these are the BAD TOXIC ones, correct?

@erose - yes, these are the methanol, not ethanol ones that cause blindness, coma, death, and all other sorts of bad things.

@0x56 @erose Not a good idea to use methanol topically, but as someone who has occupational dermal exposure to methanol over decades...not the same as drinking methanol.

@yogapaddlerun @erose - no, it's the children who are more susceptible to it via skin absorption.

@0x56 @erose Methanol is not a good idea, don’t get me wrong (mostly it is REALLY drying on skin). Want people to have an informed risk assessment and not extreme fear reaction.

@yogapaddlerun @0x56

Lately the only thing that can trigger an extreme fear reaction in me is a dearth of chocolate. (That's a joke, but honestly, I watch human self destructive activities with a fair degree of detachment thses days.)

It's good for people to be informed, ty for the notice. My comment was to catch those coming on the list, to bookend the post this-is-not-recommendations

@0x56 @yogapaddlerun

i would be kinda surprised if thin skins of elderly were not also...?
