During a conference call on Wednesday, Proctor & Gamble announced a price increase for fabric care products and personal healthcare items this year.
The company has already said price raises on liquid and powder detergents will begin Feb. 28 and will increase the costs of the rest of its fabric care portfolio including laundry pods, scent beads, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets from brands like Gain, Tide, Downy, and Bounce.
The company also alerted retailers Tuesday that price hikes are coming in mid-April on “certain personal healthcare brands in the US,” also it didn’t specify during the call which of its brands would be affected.
The move is intended to offset some cost pressures, according to the company.
