Asotvi Issues Product Advisory – Dangerous Bug Zapper!

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 06, 2008 – Cape Coral, FL – 4/4/2008. As Seen On TV.Info, Inc. (ASOTVI) www.asotv.info today announced a Product Advisory Warning regarding handheld Bug Zappers. There are a variety of them available on the market, which resemble toy tennis racquets, whose strings are actually electrically energized wires capable of delivering a powerful charge, some of them in excess of 1,000 volts—more than sufficient to kill an insect, but can also deliver a painful jolt to adults, children, and/or pets.

ASOTVI, which conducts product reviews for “As Seen On TV” products and publishes video results on its website (www.asotv.info), evaluated one such handheld bug zapper and noted that despite the product bearing a warning label that states that the product is “not a toy,” the product, in fact, looks like one. Toddlers, who can’t read yet, wouldn’t be deterred by such a warning label, and could potentially activate the product and potentially cause injury to themselves or others. Irresponsible and foolhardy adults, especially those who may be under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substances may similarly be at risk to themselves and others.

To graphically document this danger, ASOTVI has compiled a warning video and posted it to YouTube where it is publicly available for viewing. The URL for this informative video is as follows (to watch just copy and paste this link into your browser):

ASOTVI recommends everyone view this short video, share it with others, and do your part help make everyone aware of the potential dangers of such products, and the importance of keeping them away from children and inebriated adults.
