    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Clorox says it’s experiencing product shortages nationwide across its categories following last month’s attack on its information-technology systems, and the company projects a “material” impact on its quarterly results.

    The producer of disinfectants, wipes, cat litter, salad dressing and cleaners said some of its US factories still aren’t making goods, although the “vast majority” have resumed output.

    For now, the company is manually processing orders at some facilities — a task that is usually automated — as it restarts operations.

    “It is premature for us to determine longer-term impact, including fiscal year outlook, given the ongoing recovery.”

    The company’s factories have remained open despite halting production and employees continue to be paid.

    Prior to the attack, the company was trying to rebuild supply in areas including cat litter, which saw demand boom during the pandemic.
