With the launch of Geddy's Mom in 2021, innovation is finally being met in the baby safety category. The response from the juvenile and safety industry, from parents, and even from renowned interior designers, has fueled interest and enthusiasm in the otherwise mundane experience of baby proofing a home.
WARREN, N.J., July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Geddy's Mom released their first baby proofing product Watch Your Mouth last February. Watch Your Mouth (WYM) USB charger safety covers were a highly anticipated and innovative addition to a parent's baby proofing kit. And this is clear in the quantity and quality of customer reviews and industry-leading awards they have garnered since the launch.
This month they were honored with one of the most substantial awards for a product in the juvenile industry: The prestigious 2022 Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) "Top Product Award". Out of the hundreds of PTPA applicants, this award is granted annually to the products that received the highest reviews in the intensive PTPA Seal of Approval judging process.
WYM safety covers protect children from coming in contact with the end of USB chargers, popularly left plugged in and dangling in a child's line of site. While ubiquitous in the home, leaving a charger plugged in poses a significant risk of electrical injury to a child, especially those who like examining items with their mouths - a common developmental milestone.
"We are excited to share that Watch Your Mouth by Geddy's Mom has been selected by our product reviewers as a Top Product for 2022," said Sharon Vinderine, founder and CEO of Parent Tested Parent Approved. "PTPA Top Products are a select group of items that truly stand out from the rest. Only a handful of products are granted this top honor annually. Congratulations to the Geddy's Mom team!"
Geddy's Mom was honored to hear they had been selected. "To be amongst the top few this year says a lot about the need for this product, especially as it becomes commonplace to purchase USB chargers in the less regulated third party markets," said Sarah Shell, Doctor of Dental Surgery and founder of Geddy's Mom. "Awards like this, judged by real parents in real homes, really help to validate how essential this safety product is."
Watch Your Mouth by Geddy's Mom has previously been celebrated by trusted sources like Good Housekeeping, Mom's Choice Award®, was the recipient of the "Baby Proofing Product of the Year" by the Baby Independent Innovation Awards, was a finalist in the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) Innovation Awards and recently received the 2022 National Parenting Product Award (NAPPA). It has been featured in Good Housekeeping and Parents magazines, as well as multiple appearances in Buzzfeed.
Notably, of the 13,000 products submitted to the 2022 Walmart Open Call, Geddy's Mom was one of 1,200 companies asked to present to them for a spot on the shelves of Walmart. Dr. Shell had this to say about the opportunity to pitch Watch Your Mouth to Walmart merchants: "As a parent, I have experienced the surge of fear as I saw my son place a charger into his mouth. As a doctor, I have seen the traumatic results of this hazard to children that could have easily been avoided. We need to get this safety device more accessible to Americans and there is no better way than to be on the shelves at Walmart".
Every year over 200 U.S. children ages 0-5 are rushed to the emergency room for electric injury to their face and hands caused by the free metal end of plugged-in USB chargers. Geddy's Mom is helping to raise awareness of this very real, but preventable, issue.
Watch Your Mouth by Geddy's Mom (MSRP $12.95 for 3-pack) is made in the USA of non-conductive, BPA-free plastic with a child-resistant closure and contains no small parts.
