Diaper shortage - stock up

Re: Diaper shortage - stock up

  • SLHurst11SLHurst11

    I'm not concerned at all about a possible shortage.  That company's market share isn't that big in my opinion.  Plus, that's not their only plant location to account for that market share.  Also, it sounds like they were in ramp-up mode for predicted increased demand, which means there is likely a considerably large stockpile in place already.  By the time that stock is depleted, the other major players in the industry will probably have adjusted to this situtation.

    There will only be a diaper shortage if parents freak out and start stockpiling for themselves instead of following normal buying patterns.

    Which is pretty much what they want to happen. Buy me now, there's a shortage!

    I agree.. I posted that hastily ..... I think the only thing I am concerned about is them raising prices and keeping them raised....

    Yeah... I'm a CD mom so I totally don't care about this, but from reading the article it sounds like they only anticipate having production issues in Asia. Proctor and Gamble used that plant for their Asian products. So US moms can chill, unless they're ordering their diapers from China.

    Just another reason to give people who insist that my choice to CD is insane to STFU and leave me alone. :)
