PR Newswire (Canada)
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 4 /CNW/ -- Safe-T-sensor for Microwave Ovens
in High Demand - First Production Order Sold-Out MISSISSAUGA, ON,
Aug. 4 /CNW/ - Pioneering Technology Corp. of Mississauga, Ontario
(TSX-V PTE), ("Pioneering") announced today that it's all new
patent pending, Safe-T-sensor, the first product of its kind
engineered to help prevent microwave cooking fires and false
alarms, recently received regulatory approval from a Nationally
Recognized Testing Lab for sale of the product throughout North
America. Customers have been anxiously awaiting this announcement.
Pioneering completed its in-field testing earlier this year and in
recent weeks secured its product listing mark from ETL/Intertek of
Cortland, New York. In the United States the ETL listing mark
conforms to UL Standard 2017 and in Canada the product is certified
to CSA Standard C22.2 No. 205-M1983. The Safe-T-sensor was
developed by Pioneering and is the only technology of its kind
available today that helps to mitigate the many fires and false
alarms attributed to the use of microwave ovens. The Safe-T-sensor
is a patent pending technology designed to sense and defuse burning
and/or smoking conditions shutting the microwave off before it
causes a fire or triggers the fire alarm. A soft test launch of the
Safe-T-sensor in the fall of 2009 was met with great success. The
product was only made available to Pioneering's existing
Safe-T-element Customer and Distributor base and orders were
limited to small batches for testing purposes. Pioneering CEO Kevin
Callahan said, "It was important to us that we complete six months
of infield testing with our best Customers and secure a listing
mark from a Nationally Recognized Testing Lab before making this
product available in volume to the general public. Volume
production of this product is now underway and at present we cannot
keep up with demand. To date, orders are coming from universities,
the military, senior's facilities and medical centers across North
America." The product is a natural line extension to Pioneering's
Safe-T-element cooking system engineered to prevent electric stove
top cooking fires. Safe-T-sensor will be packaged and sold as an
accessory item and will also be made available to large retail
channels (wherever microwave ovens are sold) later this year.
Management anticipates that the Safe-T-sensor will deliver
significant contribution to the Company's bottom line going
forward. According to the Association of Home Appliance
Manufacturers (AHAM), there are 90 million households in the U.S.
with microwaves and the number of households that own more than one
unit is growing. In addition, microwave ovens are present in
college dorms, offices, hospitals, senior's facilities,
restaurants, convenience stores and more. Approximately 14 million
new microwaves are sold each year representing a $1.4 billion
market annually. According to the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), microwave ovens are involved in 2,100 home
structure fires per year and are responsible for more emergency
room injury visits than any other cooking device. About Pioneering
