They sold but the margins were terrible, and nobody wanted to pay extra for the opportunity to 'go green'. It did not work then and will not work now. Tough market, tougher times and folks won't want to spend any extra on a product they know nothing about. It would be cool if they could get a product out there but they first need to have production, before that they need a valid office and real operations. Nobody runs a business with only a PR office and thats it... unless it is a scam. Honestly folks, if anyone would spend a few mins just doing a little DD they would either see through the trash or join in spreading it.

If there was nothing wrong with them, why were they delisted?
Maybe just maybe,Because they didn't sell!!!

As you could read they did sell a little at first but sales declined and walmart shelf space is to valuable for non performers..

As you could read here Banana while they were working on new materials they were ready to supply older version if needed...
Problem was no demand otherwise they would of delivered...

To alleviate any shortfalls in supply or inventory the Company may produce the B9 based version of Flushaway™ to address customer demand.

Or perhaps this U.S. distributor, Dr. Fresh then, was blowing smoke up CES butts? lol In either case, it's a history lesson for everyone to be aware of, that's for sure.

Or CES blowing smoke up shareholders butts it's a history lesson for everyone to be aware of, that's for sure.

Why didn't they sell at Walmart and K mart? Must of been a few real verifiable reasons they didn't do well.



Brand Loyalty
One of the reasons why national brands, such as P&G’s Always sanitary napkins and Playtex’s Gentle Glide Tampons, dominate the feminine hygiene market, is because of consumer brand loyalty. Once a woman is satisfied with a product, she is less likely to try a different brand. With this in mind, private label and specialty-based companies face several challenges in establishing a spot for themselves on store shelves. Many times, a company’s marketshare is so small that its products are not available in stores, so product orders have to be placed through a catalog or on a company website. Still, many of these companies have been able to differentiate themselves on the market by offering feminine hygiene products for niche markets.
