Every now and again I hear tidbits from my husband, who works in supply chain logistics. I asked this very question a couple of weeks ago, and he told me that while Lysol is owned by an American company, the components for Lysol disinfectant spray are largely made in China.

I found this article that backs up his info. https://www.chipleypaper.com/news/20200411/looking-for-lysol-spray-and-clorox-wipes-covid-19-wiped-out-disinfectants-but-heres-when-you-can-buy-again

“Disinfectant products depend on a complex global supply chain, much of it centered in China.”

Most of the active ingredient in Lysol is alcohol (ethanol??). Rubbing alcohol out of a small misting spray bottle is what I use. Of course alcohol is hard/impossible to find too.

Good Morning, FF, and thank you so much for the info.

Now, I am frustrated looking for Bounty. That product probably has the same problem.

I feel we have learned an important lesson from all this.
As President Trump says, depending on foreign nations for essential needs is foolish. I hope he brings more and more of our needed products back to US so we can feel more secure.

Yikes.
