Question NO NGK Spark plugs ?

I went to the parts store today to get some fresh plugs and their computer told them NGK was out of stock so they couldn't order any and neither would anyone else. Is this real> I assume that NGK needs to run a a new batch or something? Anyone heard of this before or was the parts store talking out of the back side?

Thanks

We keep cases of them in stock. Not to worry they are not being discontinued and they are still available.
