Lysol warns not to digest disinfectant product

RB, the makers of Lysol and Dettol, is warning consumers after recent social media chatter and comments made by President Trump.

The company issued a statement Friday stating that nobody should be injecting or digesting the cleaning products.

“As a global leader in health and hygiene products, we must be clear that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route). As with all products, our disinfectant and hygiene products should only be used as intended and in line with usage guidelines. Please read the label and safety information.”

Trump stated in his COVID-19 briefing on Thursday that scientists should look into inserting light or disinfectant into those with the coronavirus.

“I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in one minute. Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning”, Trump said. “It sounds interesting to me.”

RB wanted to make sure that consumers had proper information on the products.

“We have a responsibility in providing consumers with access to accurate, up-to-date information as advised by leading public health experts. For this and other myth-busting facts, please visit Covid-19facts.com.”

The FDA warned in March against ingesting bleach after a mixture was being sold as a COVID-19 cure.
