The federal government is warning a Wisconsin company not to make hand sanitizer with the same equipment it uses to make brake cleaner.
The FDA last month sent a letter to Brenntag Great Lakes, informing the company that inspectors found “significant violations” during a tour of the company’s plant. The letter made clear the company cannot make hand sanitizer and industrial solvents using the same production line. Brenntag, however, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that it never used the same equipment for the two different products, and blamed the whole thing on what it called documentation error.
