Health Canada has recalled counterfeit hand sanitizer sold at a Dollarama store in Thunder Bay and say it may have been sold at other locations across the country.
In a press release Sunday, the agency said Bio Life Sciences Corp., which makes Daily Shield hand sanitizer, had reported a particular lot of the product — Lot 6942, Expiry date May 2023 — was counterfeit.
“As the counterfeit version of Daily Shield hand sanitizer is unauthorized and made with an unknown formulation, it may not be effective at killing bacteria and viruses, and may pose serious risks to health,” Health Canada said.
“This counterfeit product is suspected to contain methanol, which is not authorized for use in hand sanitizers and could cause severe adverse reactions or death when ingested.”
According to Health Canada, Dollarama has agreed to stop the sale of the hand sanitizer across Canada while the agency’s investigation continues.
Health Canada recommends anyone who bought this product to stop using it and see a doctor if you have concerns with your health.
Dollarama said in a statement all hand sanitizer purchases go through a full compliance review before being purchased by Dollarama to ensure the quality and safety of the product.
“The product in question was purchased through a longstanding Canadian vendor,” said spokesperson Lyla Radmanovich.
“The product was removed from all Dollarama shelves on Oct. 17 as soon as we were notified by Health Canada. Along with Health Canada and the product license holder, we continue to investigate this matter. Of the vast selection of hand sanitizers available at Dollarama, this is the only one bought from this Canadian license holder.”

Best just to listen to Bonnie Henry, her interpretations are as good or better than anyone else.
Careful, pointing that out might label you a racist.
I did the same and got that flackback so...
They wear masks for air pollution , it is a big problem in some Asian countries .
People in Japan wear masks for medical reasons, mostly to do with either allergies or they're sick themselves and don't want to spread it to others.
Some might be for pollution, but to say that's the only reason is ignorant.
Face masks started becoming popular in China due to air pollution and spread across other Asian states and even in the lLower Mainland in B.C. most worn by Asian immigrants to stop particulate matter from entering the lungs . Disease control was never considered prior to the pandemic .
Just from from a Covid test on Leverhulme Park.
I was feeling shitty in work yesterday and coughing a lot, so I was told by them to not go in today and get a test. So I phoned up the NHS earlier and got an appointment at Leverhulme Park at 3pm. Turned up in the taxi and it was like a scene from a disaster movie. Loads of guys in hi-viz and various tents and tables set up. One guy told me to sit down at a table on which was a plastic sink basin with the equipment in it. I had to do it myself because none of them would come near me so the guy told me what to do. It wasn't very nice. I was gagging and nearly sick. I had to stick it right at the back of my throat. Then I had to stick it up my nose. Then I had to snap it in half, stick it into a little jar with some liquid in it, put it onto a little bag and then put all that into another bag. So I have to wait up to 48 hours - maybe more - for the results. But at least I get another two days or so off work.

When I first lived in Tokyo in 1984, I noticed that people sometimes wore medical masks out on the street. When I asked the other ex-pats, they told me that the Japanese wore them when they were sick, to protect others from getting their germs. Being uber polite and group-minded people, this made sense to me. They felt it was their civic duty to protect others.
Being an American, it never occurred to me to wear a mask when I lived in Tokyo, even the few times I had a cold. I just stayed home. It seemed too foreign, too uncomfortable to wear a mask. It would have been like wearing kimono, the elegant traditional dress–with its many under-layers, heavy silk obi tied at the waist in a cumbersome knot, the heavy silk outer robe, and torturous-looking footwear called geta. (Well, maybe wearing a mask was not quite as uncomfortable as wearing kimono, but it wasn’t something I wanted to do.)
Fast forward to 2010 when I lived in Tokyo again. Right away, I noticed that medical masks had become ubiquitous. And when I traveled to other countries in Asia, such as South Korea, China, Thailand, and Malaysia, it seemed that many more people were wearing them than decades before. When I asked, I was again told that people wore them when they were sick, to protect others. One was expected to wear them, and it was considered extremely selfish not to. People also wore them to protect themselves from air pollution, especially in China. After the SARS epidemic in 2002-03, it became commonplace to wear masks to protect oneself from germs, not just to protect others. By 2010, mask-wearing had become extremely common, even stylish, in Asia.
Swear to Gods sometimes it's just too easy.
it is too easy. We need to exercise some restraint in dealing with these idiots. As easy as it is to refute their ridiculous ideas it is probably better all around to simply not engage with them on it. All they really want is someone to argue with because in real life nobody will.
