The disinfectant cabin wipes provided for crews are being used with no knowledge by flight attendants of the hazard they pose.  I have mentioned this to flight ops management and some onboard inflight supervisors who all expressed surprise and a willingness to get the word out.  Apparently that effort is short of the target if they've tried.  Virtually 90% of the flight attendants I brief when I see this product on board are completely surprised of the apparent hazard of the product.  Many use it like a Clorox wipe often without gloves.  The bottle warns against contact with the skin and says to contact a poison control center after rinsing for 20 minutes.  Would you either get the word out to crews about how to use this or remove it from the plane?
