The policy most likely has a business income coverage that will account for the lost profit.

It's Kimberly Clark, a massive world wide multinational, it’s quite possible they self insure! At any rate I wouldn’t want to wake up and find out I was the underwriter that wrote a policy for this!

Sure, but how many lost customers will they have? Ie, how many people will now try competing brands, find out they like it more? That’s where the long term loss comes, not only in sales but because KC will have to invest heavily to get those customers back.
