It is unsafe and unlawful to use PURELL® Hand Sanitizer packages (dispensing systems and pump bottles) to dispense products other than PURELL® Hand Sanitizer.
Hand sanitizers are FDA-regulated OTC drug products that are produced and marketed as required under FDA Topical Antimicrobial Drug Products Monograph.
GOJO Industries develops, tests, manufactures and markets its PURELL® Hand Sanitizer products in strict accordance with FDA requirements. PURELL® Hand Sanitizer packages present key product information such as lot codes, expiration dates, and drug facts that are required by the FDA.
WARNING: Doing any of the following, could expose people to serious bodily harm/injury and could expose you or your business to legal action or liability.
- Using PURELL® branded packaging to dispense other products:
- Is misleading
- Is a violation of federal and state trademark law*
- Is a violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act**
- Is a violation of Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act CGMP regulations***
- Mixing PURELL® Hand Sanitizer with other products could result in chemistry that:
- Is not effective in killing germs
- Could cause bodily harm or injury
*See Lanham Act at 15 USC sections 1051 et seq.
**Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, a drug product label that contains false or misleading information causes the drug product to be misbranded. Using PURELL® product containers and dispensers that contain non-PURELL® product causes them to be misbranded because the product labeling is no longer truthful and is misleading, including with regard to the ingredients, expiration date, and origin of the product.
***The failure to comply with Currently Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements renders drug
products adulterated as a matter of law.
