Check out this video from FoxNews that provides a good summary of the safety of hand sanitizers. While good at killing germs, caution is needed in dispensing to kids.  From the story:

“It [hand sanitizer] is causing new problems for starters using too much can make kids sick. The biggest risk is that it is a very high percentage of ethanol 62% — at least a dozen times a week the Illinois poison center gets calls from worried parents about their kids who’ve licked their hands after using the sanitizer or a toddler accidentally drinking it.”
