StacoSwitch Announces New, Environmentally Safe Safety Flare to Replace Dangerous Incendiary Flares

Costa Mesa, CA - August 17, 2006

StacoSwitch now offers a commercial-grade, non-incendiary safety flare SERIES A3 for professional and emergency use. StacoSwitch’s safety flare was designed to eliminate the health, safety and environmental hazards characterized by traditional incendiary flares while improving light signal visibility and reducing overall long-term costs.

Molded from high impact-polymers, this Safety Flare stands out among its competitors. It can endure heavy impacts and is built to withstand the weight of cars and trucks. There are no toxic fumes emitted, no chemicals to clean up, and no burn damages to repair from using the safety flare. The flare is environmentally friendly and does not produce any open flames. It can be safely used around gas and oil spills. It is extremely bright, highly visible and weatherproof.

This reusable safety flare is currently being used by law enforcement, military, fire, EMS and rescue teams around the world. The battery powered, blinking light is ideal for traffic situations, traffic routing, flat tires and road side emergencies. “I always worried about my wife and kids having to use incendiary flares. They are dangerous, hard to use and go bad over time. This is a much better product all around.” says Kevin Judd, VP of Marketing at StacoSwitch.
