BIC Lighters - Quality, Reliability, and Safety

 

May 2019

 

The BIC Lighter is recognized as a worldwide leader in producing a safe, reliable flame for millions of consumers every day. In more than 160 countries around the world, BIC has sold more than 15 billion lighters.

 

Since the beginning, almost 40 years ago, they have developed and perfected the strictest quality and safety standards in order to give consumers the best performing lighters on the market. The company employs these standards at manufacturing facilities all over the world.

 

BIC’s quality assurance criteria for its lighters meet or exceed the lighter safety standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and all other government agencies.

 

Every day, BIC produces more than 5 million lighters worldwide. Quality and safety are built into the product process. BIC’s manufacturing process is one of the most modern in the world, using the highest quality raw materials available. BIC’s assembly processes are custom-designed to produce top quality lighters. Specialized equipment analyzes 100% of the lighters produced by BIC and identifies non-conforming products and ejects those that do not meet BIC’s specifications.

 

In addition, they use sophisticated computerized camera equipment to precisely measure flame height and other characteristics and to eject non-conformances. Every BIC lighter undergoes more than 50 separate, automatic quality checks during the manufacturing process. This includes testing of each and every finished BIC lighter by lighting and extinguishing it to ensure the lighter preforms properly before it ever leaves BIC’s factory.

 

The company’s commitment to quality continues even after each lighter has been machine inspected. Samples from each production run are further examined by quality control technicians on an ongoing basis. In addition, random samples of finished lighters are collected from the marketplace so that a series of ongoing quality assurance tests can be performed.

 

Because of all this, it is no surprise that BIC Lighters are one of the top selling products in a c-store. Make sure you’re carrying the lighters your consumers know, love, and rely on.

Powerful Energy from Rhino Rush

 

February 2019

 

The energy blend that powers the most complete energy shot on the market is now available in an energy drink! Rhino Rush ephedra powered energy blend never fails to deliver your daily dose of GET MOVIN’. Rhino Rush energy shots are specifically designed to give you the energy you need to face whatever challenges lie ahead. Their herbal based formula keeps you energized so long the competition does not stand a chance. They actually taste great too!

 

Why Rhino Rush?

 

Rhino Rush Energy Drinks start off with 100mg of caffeine per serving (200mg per can) to give you that initial lift off. This is followed up by our herbal based, ephedra powered energy blend that extends that energy level throughout your day…or night.

 

There are countless energy drinks on the market, right? Absolutely! And we love that because well, we love competition! The problem with the other guys is they follow up their caffeine boost with a major overload of synthetic vitamins. Sure, this will give you what might be confused with energy. You know, that jittery, vibrating, anxious feeling that is followed up by the crippling crash.

 

The key word here is Herbal Based. Unlike synthetic vitamins, our formula is absorbed and works with your body to provide you with true, clean energy.

 

What is Ephedra?

 

The FDA has not banned all types of Ephedra. According to the FDA’s 2004 Regulation regarding Ephedra, only those plan species containing ephedrine alkaloids are potentially harmful and banned for use in nutritional supplements.

 

The FDA’s regulation makes clear that it only applies to supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids. Additionally, the Ephedra found in Rhino Rush does not contain ephedrine alkaloids.
