Scotts Receives Home Safety Council's Commendation Seal for Pull
'n Spray(R) Applicator
MARYSVILLE, Ohio, May 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The Scotts Company, a subsidiary of
the world's leading marketer of lawn and garden products, ScottsMiracle- Gro,
announced today it has been awarded the Home Safety Council's Commendation Seal
for Safety Innovation.
The commendation seal recognizes the safety features of Scotts' Pull 'n
Spray(R) II applicator, which is used to dispense ready-to-use weed and insect
control products sold under the Ortho(R) and Roundup(R) brands since 2002.
This sprayer was designed for safety, accuracy and usability. With one pull of
the applicator handle, liquid is siphoned into the sprayer wand. Since no
pressure is used, safety risks related to over-pressurization of the container
are completely eliminated. The applicator also directs the liquid onto the
target with precision, which eliminates waste and protects the environment.
Additionally, Pull 'n Spray II is easy on the user's hand, because just one
sprayer charge is equivalent to 35 strain-producing trigger pulls.
"Our main focus was consumer and environmental safety in designing the Pull 'n
Spray applicator," said Dr. Mustapha Abbaoui, project manager in Scotts' R&D
Packaging Department. "We did this by ensuring the integrity of the container
and controlling the safe application of the contents in a variety of usage
situations."
As one of six companies honored with the safety innovation commendation seal,
Scotts will officially receive this honor at the Home Safety Council's annual
awards ceremony on June 30, 2005, in Washington, D.C.
Through the Commendation Seal program, the Home Safety Council recognizes
manufacturers' outstanding contributions for product innovations that enhance
consumer safety. In order to be considered for the award, the nominated
innovations are to be in the marketplace for at least one year, in compliance
with standards issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission or a
similar regulatory agency and tested by an independent laboratory.
