Product Review

Swine flu fears have prompted a renewed interest in hand sanitizers. We found reviews that should be interpreted cautiously, however. Why? Fraudulent products claiming to fight the H1N1 flu virus have been popping up, including some hand sanitizers.

The makers of SkinWear and Viraban have since removed the claims from their websites, but although the Soapopular website says it has removed the claims, ConsumerSearch found the words “H1N1, swine flu” in white-on-white text on one of the website’s pages as of November 2009 — invisible to readers (unless you highlight the text), but not to a search engine.
