A New Symbol Identifies Easy to Use Products

The Arthritis Foundation rebrands its Ease-of-Use^© Commendation

ATLANTA, May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Arthritis Foundation today announced the release of a new symbol for products that are tested and proven to make daily tasks easier. Consumers who are looking for easy to use products will soon find a new Ease-of-Use logo on accepted products in retail stores and pharmacies nationwide. They can also find Ease-of-Use commended products on a new section of the Foundation's website: www.arthritis.org/easeofuse.

Consumers are encouraged to look for the Ease-of-Use logo, an encircled version of the "active person" icon of the Arthritis Foundation, on products this summer. That icon, along with the term Ease-of-Use, identifies products that have been tested and proven to make everyday tasks easier for people with physical limitations.

"The Arthritis Foundation's goal is to help people live active, pain-free lives," said Rick Bell, managing direct of Cause Development with the Arthritis Foundation. "We want them to know that products bearing the Ease-of-Use symbol can help them do just that."

Bell added: "We have learned that people who do not live with arthritis appreciate products that help keep things simple."

There are currently over 100 products that feature the Arthritis Foundation's Ease-of-Use Commendation, including grocery and office supplies, gardening tools, cooking utensils, exercise equipment, medication and other health aides.

The new Ease-of-Use logo will be phased in over the coming year. For information about Ease-of-Use and a full list of products that feature the commendation, visit arthritis.org/easeofuse.
