Follow on Google News | My Plate-Mate: Helping with Independent Eating while Celebrating Earth Day EverydayHATCH produces My Plate-Mate, a product that helps toddlers, the elderly, and those with special needs to gain independence at meal time. This conscientious company also took steps to make sure their packaging was earth friendly as well.
By: HATCH Since My Plate-Mate was introduced last year, the response has been terrific. In August, iParenting Media (part of the Disney family) awarded My Plate-Mate the 2008 Outstanding Product Award. My Plate-Mate was also featured on the TODAY show with Matt Lauer and Donny Deutch in a segment called, “There’s Gotta Be A Better Way.” Interest in My Plate-Mate has come from parents, pre-schools, arthritis patients, stroke patients and nursing homes. The toddler version sells for $7.95 and fits any 8- to 9½-inch round plate. The adult version retails for $10 and fits any 9- to 11-inch round plates. Both are made of FDA-approved plastic and are produced in the U.S. It is lead-free and contains no PVCs, phthalates, polycarbonates or bisphenol A. My Plate-Mate is available at retailers and boutiques throughout the U.S., including Buy Buy Baby and the One Step Ahead catalogue. It is also available in medical supply catalogs and online at www.myplate- Contact: HATCH For information on product releases, photos, samples, and packaging: Michele Wong or Paige Akabane Phone: (925) 272-0745 email: info@MyPlate- URL: http://www.myplate- # # # Creators of quality products with an emphasis on independence and assisted learning.
