ST. LOUIS, Sept. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC)
("Edgewell") today issued the following statement in response to
Procter & Gamble Company's (NYSE: PG) ("P&G") lawsuit
regarding Schick Hydro Connect™ 5.
As a challenger company, we constantly strive to bring
solutions, value and choice to consumers. We are offering
refills which fit Gillette® Fusion® handles
via schickhydro.com. These refills offer consumers a
great shave and a great value. It isn't surprising that Gillette is
doing whatever it can to try and stop us.
As innovators ourselves, we have numerous patents, and take
intellectual property very seriously. However, P&G's
allegations in this instance are meritless. P&G has a
history of using litigation in the face of competition. We
have a long track record of successfully defending our innovation
against similar tactics. We will vigorously defend ourselves
against these unfounded claims.
