Are hand sanitizers dangerous for kids?

Can hand sanitizers cause alcohol poisoning in children? There are stories out there of it happening, including one of a child acting disoriented and off-balance after drinking half of a bottle, and a little girl becoming incoherent and lethargic after being seen by classmates licking sanitizer off her hands.

According to experts the average child would have to drink at least an ounce or more of hand sanitizer to notice any serious effects from the alcohol content, but regardless kids should always be supervised and the sanitizer stored out of reach -- just to be on the safe side.

Over-reaction, or hazardous material?
