MyFunkins Wins Parent Tested Parent Approved Seal of Approval

CANADA Nov. 21, 2012 – MyFunkins Ltd. is thrilled to announce that Funkins has been awarded the PTPA Winner’s Seal of Approval. PTPA Media is North America’s largest volunteer parent testing community, with more than 40,000 parents.

“I am thrilled that we’ve received the PTPA Winner’s Seal of Approval,” said MyFunkins CEO Lisa Baumgartner. “We are proud to be rated ‘exceptional’ across the board, from quality and durability, to value and style. Funkins are a fun way to reduce paper waste in our everyday life, and this wonderful recognition is a testament to our product excellence.”

Funkins was among many entries from across North America competing to earn the PTPA® Seal. Independent parent volunteers evaluate products in their own homes to ensure that PTPA winners are chosen based on merit and consumer experience – not on commercial considerations. As a result, the PTPA Media® Seal has quickly gained recognition as an international leader in certifying consumer products for quality, effectiveness and value.

“At PTPA Media, we are proud to play a role in certifying innovative products that families can trust,” said CEO and founder of PTPA Media Inc., Sharon Vinderine, who has appeared on nearly 50 morning shows and is considered a reliable source for the latest and best family products. “When consumers search for our Seal of Approval on product packaging and websites, they are essentially searching for validation from their peers. Their peers will have objectively tested and approved these products based on their performance in a real life environment. That type of resource for families is priceless.”
