Joint-Saving New Product, Just In Time for Arthritis Month
Warning: Grocery shopping can be harmful on wrist and finger joints, as well as circulation. Think about the weekly chore of carrying grocery-laden heavy plastic bags from the shopping cart to the car, and from the car into the home. These plastic bags weigh on wrist and finger joints, cutting off circulation to the fingers, wrists and even the arms. According to Dr. Jay Finkelman, "taking the preventative step of carrying heavy grocery bags in a different, less stressful way may delay future difficulties with joint stiffness."
To meet this need, The HappyWares Company, a Florida-based manufacturer of "homewares that provide happy solutions," has announced the arrival of "The EZcarry" (www.theEZcarry.com). The product is an innovative hand-saver that is sure to be the next sort of "paper clip" to help people "get a grip on shopping" and reduce joint discomfort from carrying those shopping bags. It was developed through months of market research, including input from a Certified Professional Ergonomist.
The EZcarry is a comfortable soft grip handle that makes carrying shopping bags much easier. It works by more evenly distributing the pressure of the shopping bags across the hand so the load no longer cuts into a person's palm. Shoppers just hold onto a cushy purple and blue handle. It retails for about $6 and is also sold on-line at www.theEZcarry.com.
HappyWares is pleased to support the Arthritis Foundation's efforts in raising awareness during Arthritis Month this May and is donating hundreds of EZcarrys to support the local Arthritis Walk in the Columbus (Ohio) Greater Area on Saturday, May 22. According Arthritis Walk Organizer, Jim Barowsky, "This display of support by the HappyWares Company with the donation of their EZCarry product is a great way to show people that thinking of the small ways to care for themselves and their fingers, hand and wrist joints now could save them lots of potential discomfort in the future."
To see the EZcarry, visit www.theEZcarry.com or call The HappyWares Company at 1-888-HAPPYWARES. For more information, write info@happywares.com.
