SLOUGH, England, April 24, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Due to recent speculation and social media activity, RB (the makers of Lysol

and Dettol) has been asked whether internal administration of disinfectants may

be appropriate for investigation or use as a treatment for coronavirus

(SARS-CoV-2).

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.

We have a responsibility in providing consumers with access to accurate,

up-to-date information as advised by leading public health experts. For this
