AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC ENTERS AGREEMENT WITH LEADING DRUGSTORE CHAINChain to Offer American Scientific's Kidz-Med Products on Online Retail Site
New Paltz, NY -- Walter Lambert, CEO of American Scientific Resources, today announced that the Company has entered into an agreement with one of the nation's leading drugstore chains (Chain) to have its Kidz-Med subsidiary's products sold over the Chain's online retail site. American Scientific Resources, Inc. (PNK:ASFX) is the parent company for wholly-owned subsidiaries Heart Smart Systems, Inc. and Kidz-Med, Inc.
Among the Kids-Med products to be offered on its online retail site, the Chain will specifically feature Kidz-Med's new Thermofocus (No-Touch) Thermometer, where it will be immediately available to all of the Chain's online customers. With approximately 6,200 stores in 43 states, the Chain is one of the largest retail drugstore chains in the U.S.
"Availability through this leading Chain's online retail site is a tremendous step in our efforts to establish wide distribution for the Thermofocus and Kidz-Med's entire product line," stated Lambert. "We are confident that the Thermofocus will ultimately become the new 'gold standard' in household-use thermometry,” Lambert concluded.
The Thermofocus (No-Touch) Thermometer uses advanced infrared and patented aiming lights to take instantaneous temporal (forehead) temperature readings, which are deemed more accurate than ear thermometers, and as accurate as rectal readings, without ever actually touching the skin. Kidz-Med is the exclusive retail distributor of the Thermofocus in the U.S., Asia and Europe. The Thermofocus (No-Touch) Thermometer is currently available at www.kidzmed.com.
