My Safety Company Offers the New SignalONE Vocal Smoke Detectors, Using Parents' Own Voice to Awaken Sleeping Children Close to 100% and Provide Escape Instructions
New UL listed smoke alarm uses the only sound proven to awaken sleeping children during a fire - their parents’ own voices. Studies prove that traditional smoke alarms often awaken sleeping children less than 30% of the time
Chicago, IL, June 16, 2006 --(PR.com)-- According to the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, 40,000 children are seriously burned and injured, and an additional 1,200 perish each year in residential fires. One of the leading causes of these deaths and injuries is the recently discovered fact that children are not always awakened by traditional smoke alarms due to their very deep sleeping patterns. This phenomenon has been demonstrated on national news broadcasts such as NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw and many local news programs around the country.
My Safety Company, a company specializing in home safety products, announces it now offers a new smoke detector that has been demonstrated to awaken sleeping children ages 1 to 18 at a very high effectiveness rate. The SignalONE Vocal Smoke Alarm is the only alarm available that allows parents to record a "Wake-up Command" in their own voices and in any language and directed specifically at their own children.
My Safety Company also offer a unique service that helps families remember to practice their safety routines each month and the ability to have the batteries delivered twice each year to ensure families do not forget to change them in their vocal smoke alarms.
In studies by the Victoria University Sleep Lab and the University of Georgia, the familiar voice of a parent proved 100% effective at awakening sleeping children in seconds. The SignalONE Vocal Smoke Alarm leverages this fact by using a recorded message from a parent to awaken the children and provide verbal instructions on how to escape from the burning home. The success of the SignalONE Alarm at awakening children stems from its unique ability to capitalize on the brain's ability to recognize one's own name or a familiar noise over background noise or even while asleep.
The CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) has also recognized the inability of current smoke alarms to effectively wake children and “unimpaired” adults. (Those not under the influence of alcohol, medications or sleep deprivation.)
Even if a child awakens in a residential fire crisis from the sounds of a traditional smoke detector, they are still at great risk. The secondary cause of fire-related death and injury to children is their tendency to panic in high-stress situations or act irrationally by hiding in closets or under their beds. Rather than issuing alarms that can panic a child, SignalONE can deliver a firm but reassuring message to the children, such as "Sally! Wake up! Sally! Wake up! Stay calm, follow the escape plan we practiced and meet me in the back yard." The vocal commands are followed by a series of high-pitched alarms.
“As a father of 2 children myself and a former security consultant, I knew that this amazing device needed to be in every home with a child,” said Nolan Collins, Owner of My Safety Company. “I knew I had to give my kids better than a 30% chance of waking up in a fire and I knew there were other parents out there that felt the same way!”
The SignalONE Vocal Smoke Detector has been recognized and supported worldwide by child psychologists and fire safety experts. It has won the prestigious "Best of Innovations" Award at the International Consumer Electronics Show, the University of Georgia Global Moot Corp Global Champion Award and Popular Science’s "Best of What’s New" Award.
My Safety Company has made the SignalONE Vocal Smoke Alarm available through its Web site at www.mysafetycompany.com , for $39.95.
