The makers of Purell hand sanitizer say they have ramped up production to meet demand as concerns over the coronavirus have caused it to fly off the shelves.
The company that makes Purell has"dramatically increased production" as concern about the coronavirus has skyrocketed demand for hand sanitizer across the country.
Publix is only allowing two items per visit for hand soaps and sanitizers, rubbing alcohol, facial masks and gloves, disinfectant wipes and sprays, facial tissue, and bleach. Purell is made in Ohio and France, and the majority of its pumps and bottles are manufactured in North America, so the company said there is no potential disruption to the supply chain caused by the coronavirus outbreak in China.
"Hand sanitizer is regulated by the FDA as an over-the-counter drug, and there are robust regulations around its manufacture and marketing to protect public health," Gojo Industries said."We assume the State of New York and the company it has identified to produce hand sanitizer in its prisons understands all of this and will do what is needed to produce safe and effective product in a way that is fully compliant with all regulations and standards.
