Give the Gift of Health This Holiday Season

CLEVELAND, OH -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 20, 2006 --Children on average get six to ten colds a year, and moms between the ages of twenty and thirty have more colds than men because of the exposure they receive from their children**. With lots of sneezing, coughing and the oh-so-dreaded flu lurking, are you doing everything you can to try and keep your family healthy this holiday season? Germ Guardian™ is launching a product focused on killing airborne germs safely and naturally without using potentially harmful chemicals or ozone.

The Germ Guardian™ UV-C plug-in air sanitizer is a safe and natural way to help eliminate potentially contagious airborne germs from your home. It is proven effective against 99 percent of targeted airborne cold and flu-causing viruses and other germs*. It harnesses the power of naturally occurring UV-C light, the same technology used in hospitals to sanitize, making it a safe way to kill germs without the use of chemicals.

According to Dr. Kelly Reynolds, Microbiologist at The University of Arizona, "UV-C is an extremely effective way to help eliminate viruses and other germs via the airborne route. Thanks to Germ Guardian, this technology has been made available to everyone and now you can use the plug-in to kill airborne germs that can potentially cause colds and flu."

The Germ Guardian plug-in is a small, inconspicuous product designed to fit into any standard electrical outlet. It stands less than 8-inches tall and weighs less than 1 pound. Plug the product directly into an outlet, and it will circulate 450 cubic feet of air an hour destroying 99 percent of germs and odors simultaneously.

Since it also is highly effective at eliminating odors and not masking them -- it's perfect next to the diaper pail, in the kitchen and in bathrooms. It's also great for destroying unwanted odors from mold, pets, smoke and cooking. It has no filters to clean or replace and uses less energy than a standard light bulb. The unit is safe for use around children and pets and is cool to the touch.

Dr. Reynolds also added, "It's important to take a multi-barrier approach when trying to stay healthy this season. From washing your hands frequently, to using any of the Germ Guardian products, you can rest assured that you are taking the appropriate steps to eliminate potentially contagious viruses and bacteria from the air in your home while creating a healthier indoor environment."
