Flu Season Drives Up Production of Hand Sanitizers

Posted Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Featured on Episode 5 of the 2009-2010 season

 

Worries about the flu this fall have raised the demand for hand sanitizing products. Akron-based GO-JO Industries, the makers of Purell Hand Sanitizer, says that even with their factories working twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, they can't keep up with orders. Mentor-based Steris Corporation, which supplies hand and surface sanitizing equipment and supplies to hospitals, has also increased production.

I loved this weeks episode. My fovorite story was about the hand sanitizing. I think that it is really cool that all of the hand sanitizing corporations are selling out fast. That means that a lot of people care about thier health. The only bad thing is that they are selling out so fast some people won’t be able to buy a bottle.
