Jan 26---Kidz-Med Inc. recalls Non Contact THERMOMETERS

Manufacturer: -See Below-


Product: Medicals

Start Date: 2011-01-26 End Date: 2011-02-26


Tecnimed, announced today that the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York has issued an injunction against Kidz-Med, Inc./American Scientific Resources ("Kidz-Med") related to the sale of Kidz-Med's new thermometer.

Last fall, Tecnimed discovered that Kidz-Med, Tecnimed's former U.S. distributor, was marketing a non-contact thermometer in packaging remarkably similar to that of Tecnimed's Thermofocus(R) thermometer.

Tecnimed responded by filing a complaint against Kidz-Med in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, asking the Court to enjoin Kidz-Med from continuing to sell its thermometer in the similar packaging. The Court granted Tecnimed's request, ordering that Kidz-Med/ASR stop selling the Kidz-Med non-contact thermometer using its current packaging, and requiring Kidz-Med to notify retailers that the thermometer has been recalled and instructing each retailer to immediately return all products to Kidz-Med. The lawsuit continues, with Tecnimed seeking damages arising from Kidz-Med's sale of product with infringing packaging.

Tecnimed is the manufacturer of the world's first non-contact body temperature thermometer, the Thermofocus®, which permits a parent to take a child's temperature without disturbing the child. The success of the legal action in New York sends a strong message that Tecnimed is fully prepared to protect the uniqueness of its non-contact thermometer.

Please direct any questions regarding this lawsuit to Tecnimed's lead counsel, Tony Miele of Miele Law Group P.C. and Jennifer Furey of Cooley Manion Jones LLP.
