Clorox Co says it’s experiencing product shortages in the US 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. Clorox took down certain internal systems after the hack, which resulted in several weeks of ceased production.
