Hand sanitiser that has been withdrawn from the market due to “possible public health concerns” is currently being recalled from the healthcare system.

This Friday, the HSE has confirmed it is also affected by the recall of Virapro hand sanitiser, which with prolonged use can cause dermatitis, irritation and headaches, among other things.
