14 Hand Sanitizer Brands Suspended: Failed To Meet KEBS Standards.
The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) has recalled 14 hand sanitizer brands from the market over poor quality. This comes after a recently conducted surveillance that saw 47 sanitizer brands collected and sampled to check their standards.
Confirming to the newsrooms via a statement, KEBS said 33 of them, representing 70% of the brands, met the requirements while the 14 failed to meet quality requirements.

“The manufacturers in the list are instructed to recall all affected hand sanitizer brands batches from the market. In addition, it is the responsibility of the manufacturers to verify with KEBS that the other batches are compliant,” read the statement.
“They are to institute effective corrective actions whose effectiveness shall be confirmed by KEBS before resumption of production and placement of the brands in the market.”
The state agency added, “This is not a ban of the hand sanitizer brands but a temporary suspension until the products comply with the Kenya Standard.”
