According to the Food and Drug Administration, there are five additional hand sanitizer brands added to a growing list of produce consumers should avoid purchasing due to a toxic substance in the products. With the five new products added, the list of toxic hand sanitizer products grows to 14 overall.

In a statement, the FDA said that excessive exposure to any toxins in these products “can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death.”

The FDA said that anyone using toxic products should stop using them immediately and dispose of the products properly in hazardous waste containers, rather than flushing the produce down a toilet or drain.
