FDA warns Purell maker to stop claiming its hand sanitizers eliminate Ebola and MRSA - CNN

Lawsuit Filed Against Makers of Purell For Hand Sanitizer Disease Prevention Claims | Consumer Protection Review

Maker of Purell accused of 'misleading' consumers over effectiveness

This lawsuit follows a January 17, 2020 warning letter sent by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to Gojo regarding the same claims. In the letter, the FDA warned Gojo that claims that Purell products “are effective in preventing disease or infection from pathogens such as Ebola, MRSA, VRE, norovirus, flu, and Candida auris, and in preventing the spread of infection” implies that their products are FDA-approved drugs. Similarly, the FDA states that claims that Purell products “are effective in reducing illness or disease-related student and teacher absenteeism” are unsubstantiated.

Purell has already been pressed in the past for making false claims that aren't approved to FDA guidelines. Take of your tinfoil crown

Purell is in every major company, hospital and school in the states...but pressed means nothing without a lawsuit.

I think the FDA made liquid soap producers remove the "anti bacterial" claim from their packaging/marketing years ago.
