Three people have died and another left permanently blind after drinking hand sanitiser and falling victim to methanol poisoning, according to New Mexico's Department for Health

Three people have reportedly died and one left permanently blind after drinking hand sanitiser.

Health officials say the fatalities, which occurred in New Mexico, were linked to methanol poisoning, CNN reports.

Another three people who are believed to have drunk the product are in a critical condition, the state's Department of Health says.

The incidents are thought to be related to alcoholism.

"All seven people are believed to have drunk hand sanitiser containing methanol," the Department of Health said in a statement.

Details on who the victims are and where the incidents took place have not been released.

However, some people have been known to resort to alcohol-based hand sanitiser to get intoxicated.

Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the product was banned in most US prisons out of fears inmates might drink it or use it to start fires
