However, the manufacturer that makes Purell hand sanitizer is being sued for false and misleading claims about the effectiveness of their product. According to USA Today , Purell parent company GOJO Industries is facing a class-action lawsuit on the grounds of its misleading claim that their product “kills 99.99% of illness causing germs.” The suit was filed in the Northern District of Ohio on March 13 and represents four people in Oregon, Massachusetts, California, and Michigan.
