Lysol maker warns on disinfectants after Trumps comments

(KYMA, KECY)-The company that makes Lysol is reminding consumers to not drink or ingest their products.

“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),” the company said in a statement.

The statement comes after President Trump suggested that consuming disinfectants may help people combat COVID-19.

According to CBS, President Trump remarked at Thursday's White House briefing that he's seen that disinfectant "knocks it (COVID-19) out in a minute. And is there a way you can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs -- so it'll be interesting to check that. ... It sounds interesting to me."
