Nationwide Tampon Shortage Affecting Bay Area Stores
Another shortage rattling shoppers across the Bay Area. But this time its hitting women looking for tampons.
Tampons are running low on shelves across the country and it’s happening amid rising prices.
NBC Bay Area’s Stephanie Magallon went to five different stores across San Francisco Saturday, including CVS and Target, and the stores were all running low on tampons.
“Thankfully, I actually recently just bought a box, but I think it’s crazy that that’s happening,” said Bay Area resident Nicole Sager.
The brand missing the most on shelves is Tampax. Its maker, Procter & Gamble (P&G) recently confirmed to NBC News that some consumers may currently be unable to find what they need.
