People are being told they shouldn’t keep large amounts of hand sanitiser in their home or car because of the risk of fire.
Dublin Fire Brigade says the high alcohol content means it needs to be treated with the same care as any other accelerant.
But it says a claim circulating on social media that it could catch fire in a hot car is unproven.
Station officer Darren O'Connor says hand sanitiser is an essential item at the moment - but it has to be handled with care.
