FDA Warns Companies to Stop Making
MRSA Claims for Hand Sanitizers

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued warning letters to companies that manufacture and market over-the-counter (OTC) hand sanitizers that claim to prevent infection from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (MRSA). In addition, the labeling of some of the firms’ hand sanitizing drug products make claims related to preventing infection from E.coli and/or H1N1 flu virus. The FDA does not have sufficient evidence demonstrating that these products are safe and effective for prevention of these infections.

The FDA warning letters were sent to these hand sanitizer companies:

JD Nelson and Associates ("JD Nelson") for Safe4Hours Hand Sanitizing Lotion
Oh So Clean, Inc dba CleanWell Company ("CleanWell") for CleanWell All-Natural Foaming Hand Sanitizer, CleanWell All-Natural Hand Sanitizer, CleanWell All-Natural Hand Sanitizing Wipes, and CleanWell All-Natural Antibacterial Foaming Handsoap.

The warning letters explain that the companies are marketing these products in violation of federal law. According to the FDA, JD Nelson and CleanWell are mislead consumers by making unproven prevention claims.
