Terrapin participates in CPSC's Pool Safely Campaign
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 27, 2010
On May 24, 2010 the American Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the launch of its Pool Safely campaign to reduce child drownings and entrapments, by changing the way people think and act about pool and spa safety. http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10241.html
CPSC has taken the lead by partnering with national, regional and local organizations in the children's safety and drowning prevention communities. By engaging key partners, the campaign will reach the widest possible audience and build a sustainable network that will ensure the campaign's messaging is delivered for years to come.
Terrapin Communications is actively engaged in the Pool Safely campaign on three fronts as follows.
1. Terrapin is a Pool Safely Campaign Safety Leader
