Purell is currently sold out on Amazon.
Purell hand sanitizer is currently sold out on Amazon as fear over the spread of coronavirus grows in the US.
As of Monday afternoon, every Purell product on the brand's Amazon storefront was sold out, with items ranging from bulk travel minis to individual 12-ounce bottles listed as "currently unavailable." A disclaimer next to each of these products reads "we don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."
While select Purell products on the site are available, they can only be purchased through third-party sellers, several of which have dramatically raised prices to meet skyrocketing demand.
In one case, we found a single eight-ounce bottle of Purell selling for $29, not including shipping and tax, through the vendor TCH Solutions. In another, a two-pack is going for $119.99 via Deals Broker USA.

The Amazon shortage comes as Purell products continue to fly off the shelves of major retailers and drugstores around the country. According to a representative for Gojo Industries, parent company of Purell, the team has "significantly" increased production to account for the spike in demand.
"We have experienced several demand surges in the past during other outbreaks - and this is on the higher end of the spectrum but not unprecedented," Gojo spokeswoman Samantha Williams said in a statement shared with Business Insider. "We have added shifts and have team members working overtime - in accordance with our plans for situations like this."
Further, Williams said, Gojo is in "constant communication with Amazon and working to meet their needs as well as our many distributor partners."
A representative for Amazon did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment .
