The container on the left is the one I found in my pantry last March.
The one on the right is the one I just got at Target when I was there getting my second Shingrix vaccination.
It looks they no longer make any promises about killing specific viruses, and have instead decided to reassure us that our furniture will be safe.

Are the ingredients the same? Is the label difference a legal consideration?–just in case you clean your whole environment with wipe and get Covid-19. I have no idea how anyone could make this case.
It’s sort of fascinating to have a label change, because honestly they need zero advertising right now? (we still haven’t been able to get our hands on a new container)
That said, if they *are* wood-furniture-safe, that’s useful to know from a “what can we disinfect with this” point of view, I guess? and also no one is caring much about any of the viruses/bacteria they listed on their label before, but they probably don’t want to specifically say COVID on the packaging because then it will be out of date at some point (we hope!!!) and they’d have to change back and have all sorts of packages and labels to discard. So. Maybe just “viruses and bacteria” is the way to go for now?
Arlene – active ingredients are identical. Why change it then? Perplexing.
KC – notice the 99.999 percent is now 99.9 percent – I suppose the extra nines are the COVID.
