ACI has also received instructions to recall the methanol-mixed hand sanitizer within 48 hours.

RAB Executive Magistrate Sarwar Alam said they raided the ACI warehouse near the Eidgah field in Mirpur-1 on Sunday night and found the presence of methanol in some 35,000 ‘Savlon hand sanitizers’ in three batches.

“20,000 hand sanitizers in the warehouse have been destroyed in the operation,” he said. Everything else must be withdrawn from the market in 48 hours. “

Under the directive, ACI has already begun recalling the three batches of Savlon hand sanitizer, the executive magistrate said.

In early October 4, a RAB mobile court found methanol in Savlon Hand Sanitizer after raiding an ACI warehouse in Gazipur.

Sarwar Alam said: “There is no problem in any other product from that company. They said the incident took place by mistake in a methanol drum while buying raw materials from old Dhaka.
