EPA
approves 2 Lysol products to disinfect
against COVID-19
The
listing may not immediately help consumers, however. A number of
popular disinfectant products, including those under the Lysol brand,
remain in low stock -- if not out of stock -- in stores as
manufacturers work to keep up with demand.
“Given
the rapid spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the US, our top
priority at this time is increasing our production to help curb the
spread of illness,” RB says
on the FAQs on the Lysol website.
“We are experiencing unprecedented and accelerated demand for our
Lysol products, and this demand is clearly having an impact on store
inventory levels. Our teams are actively working around the clock to
increase production and delivery to our retailers, with the goal to
maximize access to our products.”
RB
added that stock of product “will vary day by day.”
“We
advise you to ask your retailer when they will be receiving their
next shipments,” the FAQ said. “We ask that consumers purchase
only what they need so that everyone can work together to stop the
spread.”
The
EPA has previously provided a searchable
list of products for
use against COVID-19. The items on the list meet
the EPA’s criteria for
use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, according
to the agency website.
The two Lysol products are included on the list.
Some
other products that are also on the list are Scrubbing Bubbles
Multi-Purpose Disinfectant (EPA Reg No. 4822-548); Arm & Hammer
Essentials Disinfecting Wipes (EPA Reg No. 95337-1); Windex
Disinfectant Cleaner (EPA Reg No. 4822-593); and Comet Disinfecting
Bathroom Cleaner (EPA Reg No. 3573-54).
