From the FDA:

 
 

The following chart outlines the information on hand sanitizer labels for consumers to use to identify a  product that has been tested by FDA and found to contain methanol, that is being recalled by the manufacturer or distributor,  that is purportedly made at the same facility as products in which FDA has tested and confirmed methanol contamination and/or that has been identified through the agency’s registration and listing database. FDA advises consumers not to use hand sanitizers from these companies, or products with these names or NDC numbers.
