Its shortages. Purell wouldn’t be going to the expense it is doing if it was just stocking issues.
For those that think hand sanitizer is just a stock issue because the store has it in some warehouse somewhere and hasnt delivered because the store didnt order enough...
Purell has experienced a “substantial increase” in demand for its line of sanitizing products, particularly for hand sanitizer and hand-sanitizing wipes and cleaning spray, said a spokeswoman for Purell parent company Gojo Industries Inc. Consumer demand online and at retailers has been especially pronounced, while businesses and health facilities have stepped up orders more incrementally.
She said the company has significantly increased production to meet expected demand, adding shifts and having employees work overtime. The latest rise in demand, she said, is “not unprecedented,” but is more pronounced than outbreaks such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, in 2002-03 and the H1N1 influenza virus in 2009.
Purrell maybe an exception.
Everybody wants it!
