Some people never learn.
An employee working first shift at a GameStop warehouse tested positive for COVID-19 last month. Did GameStop immediately close the warehouse and send everybody home?
Hell, no. Not GameStop. They made everyone work the rest of the first shift, then had the second shift come in and work a full shift.
They said the warehouse would be closed the next day for a thorough cleaning. They closed for half a day and spot-cleaned the places where the sick employee had been.
But the guy had been all over the fucking warehouse the previous day.
Not content to merely risk the lives of employees, GameStop saw a golden opportunity to break a few Federal laws by making their own hand sanitizer and sending it out to all of their stores.
The sanitizer was pure non-medical-grade isopropyl alcohol in squirt bottles with a laser-printed label that simply read "Hand Sanitizer."
Rubbing alcohol is typically only 70% isopropyl. FDA regulations require that it be prepared by, or under the supervision of, a pharmacist or doctor.
Pure isopropyl alcohol is toxic when it absorbed by the skin. And highly flammable.
Postal regulations prohibit sending flammable materials through the mail. Not to mention the caps on the squirt bottles could pop off during shipping, posing a hazard to postal workers.
