Contributes Shipment of Soapopular Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizers To EMS Workers

Westport, Connecticut, Aug 8, 2007—Westport-based Mata Global Solutions, an import/export firm that owns the US license for Soapopular, a new, alcohol-free hand sanitizer product, was recently credited for its role in assisting the city of Minneapolis by contributing a shipment of sanitizers for emergency personnel working at the site of the August 1, I-35W bridge collapse.

Pedro Mata, a partner of Mata Global Solutions, the Connecticut import firm that distributes Soapopular throughout the United States, stated, “Last week’s catastrophe struck a particular chord with us, as we had just returned from a planning session in Minneapolis with executives from Target, Inc., and we were immediately compelled to do whatever we could to help the emergency workers on site.”

Added Mata, “Within less than one hour of our phoning the Minneapolis Mayor’s office, we received a call back former Minneapolis Fire Chief Bonnie Bleskachek, who is coordinating emergency logistics and she quickly facilitated our shipment. Bonnie told us that the sanitizers would be immediately distributed to Minneapolis Police Department officers working at the disaster scene; as most of the police officers don’t have the luxury of protective gloves.”

According to Bleskachek, who for two years, served as the first woman Fire Chief for the City of Minneapolis, and is currently a senior administrator for the Minneapolis Mayor’s office stated, “All helping hands are being welcomed by our community, and the hand sanitizers contributed by Soapopular are particularly appreciated.”

Soapopular is one of few, next generation, alcohol-free hand sanitizer products that have been introduced since national news media first began reporting about the side effects of typical hand sanitizer products, including more than 12,000 cases of child-related, alcohol-poisoning cases directly attributed to generic products such as Purell and other brands, which account for more than 95% of the country’s hand sanitizer market. FDA-approved, Soapopular’s active ingredients provide the same bacteria and germ killing efficacy as more widely-known alcohol-based products, but, unlike most hand sanitizers on the market today, Soapopular is non-toxic, non-flammable, antiseptic, hypoallergenic, kid safe, fragrance fee, and because its alcohol-free, it doesn’t cause hands to dry or become irritated with prolonged use.
