Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, alcohol-based hand sanitisers (ABHS) have rapidly become commonplace within households, health-care setting, schools, shops and other areas frequented by children. 1 Alcohol-based hand sanitisers are appealing in taste and smell to young children and hence dangerous ingestion can occur. 3 Prevention of unintentional hand sanitiser ingestion in young children through appropriate product safety and enforcement strategies and increased public awareness is required. 2 There have been two published reports of children requiring intensive care admission after ingestion of ABHS, one of whom required intubation and ventilation for airway protection. Between 2011 and 2014, 70 669 exposures to both alcohol and non-alcohol-based hand sanitisers were reported to the National Poison Data System in America.
