Tide to change Pods lid over child safety concerns

Monday, July 30th, 2012

tide_podsJust months ago, Tide launched their new breakthrough laundry detergent – Tide Pods.The pods are laundry detergent packaged in a dissolvable shell. The pods have two swirls of colorful liquid on one side and then powder detergent on the other. However, the colorful swirls are not only attracting consumers to purchase the Tide Pods. There has been an issue with children eating the Tide Pods   laundry detergent. Nearly 250 reported cases have been issued of children swallowing Pods because they thought they were small cubes of candy. The American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) issued a warning last week that people should keep highly concentrated, single-dose packs of detergent high up and out of the reach of children. 

According to the AAPCC, some young children who swallowed the small packets required hospitalization, while others got the detergent in their eyes.  Procter & Gamble Co. said it will make Tide Pods more difficult to open. A double latch will be put on the lid of Tide Pods tubs, said P&G spokesman Paul Fox

Corporate “Going Green” Success Story

Monday, July 16th, 2012
thermototesGables Residential is one of the 1st corporate housing/luxury apartment communities to commit to “going green”.  When you move into a Gables community each client is given a welcome kit.  Each kit includes a reusable thermo tote to encourage their clients to use and “reuse” the bags when they shop at local grocery stores.

These eco-friendly bags are made from 20% post-industrial recycled content and are EXCELLENT for keeping food cold or hot!!!  Also, they can be custom printed with your logo on them in quantities as little as 250 bags!!!

 

We have produced these bags for Gables many times and anticipate them to order more in the near future to help them keep their “going green” commitment to our environment. For more information on recyclable packaging ideas call (800-535-9550) or email us.
