Home Depot Update

Launch Activity

by Eric Lehner

It has been determined that the origin of the “Out of Stock / Discontinued” mistake is that the standard UPC code of 1000+ Stain Remover as it is normally sold in the market (in single bottle units) is the one registered with the chemical compliance database, whereas the 3-Pack which Home Depot had been selling online has a unique UPC code used by HD internally. That is the one used in the inventory management database. Therefore, the UPC codes did not match between the two databases.

This did not arise before because HD is introducing a different chemical compliance registration process that had not affected this product previously.

The correction will take a few more days to go live. A decision is being made by Home Depot whether to introduce the single bottle SKU online rather than the 3-pack, as a convenience to consumers. A single bottle SKU would be beneficial for consumers and Winning Brands by making the product a much more attractive initial purchase for “first timers”.
