I dont know where the rumor started.
No I didn't do that, But (imo) Thats a Rumor..LOL !!
(imo) You should ask The FDA or JNJ ( JNJ ) has the legal battle going on with DECN.
(imo) There are FDA issues , theres a legal battle with JNJ...I was giving a quick response , but I appreciate you bringing the point up.
(imo) Thats for a Judge to Decide.
(imo) They might type Genstrip50
(imo) OR They may decide typing in the .com
(imo)A First time searcher might type
(examples)
genstrip50.com
www.genstrip50.com
or...
http://genstrip50.com/
(imo) Others might ADD the letter "S" making it plural , " Genstrips "
(imo) searching the plural form does have the http://www.new-genstrip.com/ link BUT its BELOW the Shasta safety warning
(imo) The more a link gets clicked on the higher the rank ( search result position )
(imo) People searching (first timers included) for products by entering different spellings
(imo) Many times they use incorrect spellings too...which is why (imo) when using google ads adding mispelled keywords helps.
(imo) Many Business owners are always working on SEO ( Its good and to do ) (eg) Meta Tags (in BOLD ) Lettering helps SEO
(imo) Backlinks helps...Using the product name often on the website
(imo) ( or maybe words like diabetic blood test strips in bold letters ) etc etc.
(imo)...Whatever helps the searcher to see the wesbite and get clicks
(imo) Often first time searchers will not add the word "new"
" new-genstrip.com "
(imo) They might type " genstrip50 " and see a link to the page.
(imo) but if they type "genstrip50.com" they will likely see this.
http://genstrip50.com/
(imo) I Do Not believe the "Header" name (Title) on the box says " New-Genstrip"
" I doubt DECN wants to sell their company to J&J. "
Maybe Eli Lilly wants DECN ???... LOL !!
Ok, got it ...LOL !!
(imo)Theres always room for Ammendents/Specifics...Detailed Ammendents/Specifics to ensure the safety of Diabetics etc.
(imo) Its JNJ's choice whether or not to buy a company....Not DECN's
(imo) Another problem is that AFTER you go to genstrip50.com all future search results are most likely to auto-type in your browser when you go to type genstrip50.
(imo) That means that if you type in Genstrip50 (in google) The NEXT Time (after visiting genstrip50.com) your search results will likely be ONLY the blank genstrip50.com page.
(imo) Thats because the page is actually :
http://www.pharmatechdirect.com/genstrip50/faq.html
(imo) So if you visit genstrip50.com you will have to go up to your browser and delete the .com in order to see this link
http://www.pharmatechdirect.com/genstrip50/faq.html
(imo) ...Thats not good.
Try search results for genstrip50.com
Here ya go....
genstrip50.com
or...
www.genstrip50.com
or...
http://genstrip50.com/
Agreed and (imo) Just glad that it's before the courts.
(imo) Using Generic products in Non-Generic products can lead to issues (from users) that generic blood strip companies may try to dodge if there are complications (eg. a diabetic gets a possible faulty reading.)
(imo) The blood strip company may say that its not the bood strip and may be the meter when actually it may be the blood strip itself...and may repeat with other diabetics.
(imo) I just think there are health issues that can be avoided by not mixing Generic products with Non-Generic products
I'm curious about reviews/comments by certain authors ...Thats my point
(imo) Afterall ,There may be an issue with a "Keith Berman" profile on Amazon
(imo) If "Keith Berman" wrote a bad review on Unistrip, whats to stop him (or an affiliate) writing something like that about One Touch
First, I see this review on the Genstrip page:
April 5, 2014 "The title shows "for use with Onetouch Ultra," but he description shows "for use only with new LifeScan Ultra, Ultra 2, and UltraMini meters??"
I saw that on Amazon .
(imo) It makes me fee less confident that Diabetics will like a PR stating that JNJ would buy DECN
http://www.amazon.com/Onetouch-description-LifeScan-UltraMini-meters/forum/Fx3KAPXF0K5NH2Q/Tx1RB2H7GF24VB/1?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00CF5IJN8
" When I type the word "genstrip" into google, the first 20 entry's indicate that genstrip should not be used according to the FDA as they may report the wrong values. Except for an entry by Pharmatech, the other titles are there just to report how bad the genstrip product is. "
I AGREE...LOL !!
(imo) Unfortunately for DECN the warning is for genstrips from " Shasta Technologies " but shows up in "Genstrip" results....LOL !!
(imo) The FDA has a PUBLIC SAFETY obligation to keep that post UP because Those Shasta strips are still out there.
(eg.) Sitting in a purchasers home medicine cabinet.
(imo) Good Luck getting ALL the websites to take them down as it is a Public Safety Issue !!.......LOL !!
1) The FDA
2) WEBMD
3) CareMark
4) Medscape
5) etc etc ETC !!
.....LOL !!
Whats the relation to Thinking JNJ shoud Buy DECN ??? LOL !!
(imo) Buying Genstrip name woud only complicate sales for JNJ
(imo) JNJ won't because of the FDA warning (name association)...Diabetics with bad experience's with Genstrip ( possibly causing them a hospital visit ) might stop using ALL JNJ products if they heard that Genstrips were bought by JNJ .
Is this the play list that you're talking about ?
DECN is in a legal batte with JNJ.
(imo) I wouldn't doubt that issue being looked into.
Are others (outside the case) looking into it?
(imo)...It's possible.
(imo) All those documents but no PR claiming they were aired...LOL !!
So?..is DECN claiming Hundreds or (even) Thousands of TV ads were aired ??
(imo) For some reason I think the legitimacy of that issue is (or has been) looked into from a legal standpoint.
(imo) To me, that PR is as if DECN is claiming victory before a war (legal battle) is over.
(imo) a BIG problem is the association DECN may be claiming in the PR
(imo) DECN may be tarnishing (or attempting to tarnish) the JNJ Brand name by this type of association
(imo) DECN may be seeing an UpHill Battle and are Throwing anything at the wall to see if it sticks.
(imo) I don't see how it could help DECN , it could complicate their legal battle.
(imo)..... Which could mean a longer case.
(imo) It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see a bad PR move.
...and BTW I'm not a lawyer.
(imo) Putting a PR out there like that while the case is ongoing might not have been a good business decision by DECN.
(imo) If Genstrips were " specifically designed to work with the Johnson & Johnson's (NYSE:JNJ) LifeScan Ultra family of glucose testing meters " then JnJ woud have agreed with them.
(imo) That might be considered "False advertising" by DECN and add to the legal battle.
(imo) Data entered onto Amazon is stored in their system
(imo) Tracking data back to:
(eg) email / cellphone / pc / credit card / etc (imo) has been done by (eg. The Judicial System ) for years.
(imo) It will all come out in the wash.
12/15/2014 = KB's reply....Whats the DATE of the "proved false" claim and was it DECLARED by a Judge AND ACCEPTED (as such) by The Competitor to be a False Claim AFTER Dec 15, 2014 ? ........
From reading Bermans replies to customers on Amazon I can sympathize with part of your post.
(imo) Shareholders deserve polite customer service rep's. ALL The Time !!

Heres a review :
(imo)Last aired DECN TV AD was Feb 3, 2014 8:52 AM according to Ispot.tv (imo)

DECN website USA stats don't show on ALEXA....LOL !!
Alexa is a website calculator and ranks sites in order of popularity.
(eg. Google is #1, Facebook is #2 , Yahoo is # 3 etc etc)
My families buisness has a website and we constantly track it using Alexa ( and Google analytics)
-----------------------------
(imo) The DECN sites rank are So LOW they DO NOT SHOW any USA Ranks !!...LOL !!!
(imo) That site doesn't even show a "global rank"
...LOL !!
http://tinyurl.com/m6epe7e

Putting an "employment opportunity" page on a business website is not un-common...LOL !!
(imo) it's likely that Very Few people will see ANY Part of the DECN Website without paying for an ad
(eg Google ad or Craigslist)
...LOL !!
-----------------------------
What I find VERY SAD is that I see Only see links to EBay and Amazon on DECN sites...LOL !!
So people can't make DIRECT purchases from DECN websites??.... LOL !!
They have to leave DECN sites to purchase Genstrips ??....LOL !!
....No " My Cart " page
...No " My Account page "
...NADA !! .
....LOL!!
The AAPT scam is over...I Love it !! http://tinyurl.com/jwx64ub
DECN is an OTC...I Don't have much Faith in OTC PR's.
No "Intended use" update since May of LAST YEAR ? ...LOL !!
Theres NO Mention that the strips can be used with the latest models on The Package Insert and the website
In FACT The "Intended Use" says They're for use with meters BEFORE July 10 2010 ....LOL !!
----------------------
(imo) Not Changing the " Intended Use " Since MAY 5th OF LAST YEAR can be costly to sales.
Heres the Intended Use :
