HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. and
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LVCC, CENTRAL
HALL, BOOTH 10404/10415 -- VOXX Accessories Corp., a
wholly-owned subsidiary of VOXX International Corp. (NASDAQ:
VOXX), announced today the launch of the Champ line of
Emergency-Preparedness Gear, with the introduction of three
exciting new products: the Survival Sidekick with integrated
Weather Radio, the Bodyguard Battery Backup and the Survival Skybox
Portable AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio with Bluetooth Speakers.
"Emergency preparedness is becoming top-of-mind for more and
more consumers," explained David
Geise, President of VOXX Accessories Corporation. "We see it
everyday in news and weather reports around the globe: emergencies
happen. The Champ line gives consumers the tools to be prepared.
Champ products are designed to be easy to use and keep handy, to
help consumers deal with the unexpected and keep themselves and
their families safe."
Champ Survival Sidekick with integrated NOAA Radio
The
Champ Survival Sidekick 10-in-1 Multi-tool is a single device that
helps consumers stay prepared at home or on the road, with 10
emergency preparedness tools: a distress light and magnetic base to
serve as a beacon on the roadside, a seatbelt cutter and glass
breaker for escaping a vehicle in an emergency, and a mobile device
charging outlet for emergency power to make an urgent phone call or
send a critical message when the phone is running low. The Champ
Survival Sidekick 10-in-1 even includes a hand crank just in case
the battery hasn't been charged, to give the Sidekick enough power
to use the flashlight or give an emergency charge to a mobile
device. Also included with the Sidekick Multi-tool is an
AM/FM/Weather radio to provide crucial emergency weather
information when other sources are off-line.
The Champ E-Prep Survival Sidekick uses a familiar flashlight
form that makes it easy to stow and carry. Most importantly, the
Survival Sidekick has been rigorously tested, so it's safe and
reliable to use when consumers will need it the most. The Survival
Sidekick with integrated NOAA Radio will be available in
April 2014, and will retail for a
suggested price of $49.99.
Champ Bodyguard Battery Backup
Emergencies can also happen on a more individual level, with
personal safety quickly becoming a concern in an unfamiliar
environment, such as an unlit street or a deserted parking lot
after-hours. The Champ Bodyguard Battery Backup provides a built-in
flashlight and personal alarm for just such situations, with a 90db
siren to scare off and to signal for help. The Bodyguard Battery
offers support for everyday "emergencies" as well, such as the red
battery icon on a cell phone when an essential call or message is
needed. The Bodyguard Battery Backup will be available in
April 2014, and will retail for a
suggested price of $34.99.
Champ Survival Skybox Portable AM/FM/Weather Radio with
Bluetooth Speakers
The Survival Skybox portable
AM/FM/Weather Radio with alert capability and Bluetooth wireless
speakers is the perfect addition to all households. Not just for
emergencies, the Survival Skybox's Bluetooth wireless feature
allows users to stream music or other audio from their smartphone
wirelessly. The Survival Skybox's suite of essential emergency
preparedness tools prepares consumers for the unexpected. The
Survival Skybox delivers weather and news updates, even when other
sources are down, mobile device charging, a built-in flashlight
with emergency beacon, and time/date and temperature info. Best of
all, the Skybox's rechargeable battery can be recharged via AC
adapter, or via the built-in solar panel or crank-powered dynamo
for users who find themselves off the grid. The Survival
Skybox Portable AM/FM/Weather Radio with Bluetooth Speakers will be
available April 2014, and will retail
for a suggested price of $99.99.
The Champ Emergency Preparedness line is marketed by VOXX
Accessories Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of VOXX
International Corp. (NASDAQ: VOXX).
