The facial tissue brand Kleenex is soon to be withdrawn from Canadian stores. Brand manufacturer Kimberly-Clark Corporation said the decision had been “incredibly difficult.”

The company’s Canadian vice-president and general manager, Todd Fisher, said in a statement Aug. 24 that the company had been “operating in a highly constrained supply environment,” and despite its best efforts was “faced with some unique complexities on the Kleenex business.”
