McConnell Labs Inc., an OTC drug manufacturer, failed to comply with current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for finished pharmaceuticals, resulting in adulterated hand sanitizer products including Light Elegance Hand Sanitizer. The company did not conduct adequate identity testing on incoming raw materials such as active ingredients, ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol, instead relying solely on suppliers' Certificates of Analysis, one of which explicitly stated the ethanol was not intended for use in drug manufacturing. This violation of 21 CFR 211.84(d)(1) represented a significant breakdown in the firm's component verification controls required for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
