Congress has taken notice of the tampon shortage around the country, rooted in the supply chain crisis, and the high costs of fuel and raw materials.
The shortage of feminine hygiene products surfaced as the Biden administration is still grappling with a nationwide shortage of baby formula.
Rep. Yvette Clarke, New York Democrat and a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, said Tuesday that Congress needs “to do something about this supply chain dynamic.”
Ms. Clarke confirmed that the shortage of feminine hygiene products has gone “beyond a whisper” among her female colleagues in Congress.
