[R] Issues with the way Apply handled NA's

[Olu Ola]

 Hello,I have a data set called plabor and have the following format:

| ColA | ColB | Colc |
| 6 | 25 | 3 |
| NA | NA | NA |
| 3 | 2 | 19 |
| 4 | 7 | NA |


I wanted to find the product of the three columns for each of the rows and I used the apply function follows:
plabor$colD = apply(plabor[c("colA","colB","colc")],1,prod,na.rm=T)
The result are as follows:

| ColA | ColB | Colc | colD |
| 6 | 25 | 3 | 450 |
| NA | NA | NA | 1 |
| 3 | 2 | 19 | 114 |
| 4 | 7 | NA | 28 |


The second row results is 1 instead of being ignored.
How do I deal with this issue because I do not want to exclude these data points with all NA's?
Regards
