A report has warned drinking hand sanitizer can be "lethal," amid a rise in people consuming the product during the COVID pandemic.

The article published in BMJ Case Reports stated: "alcohol-based hand sanitizers, if ingested, can have toxic effects and may even be lethal," and highlighted the cases of a man and a woman who both died after drinking it. Further steps need to be taken to warn people of the potential dangers of the product, which has become extremely popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, it said.
