dramatic step toward our continuing goal of being a leading competitor in
the environment and health-friendly products marketplace," said Pacific
Sands president and CEO, Michael Wynhoff. "I'm particularly excited that we
are now able to offer a complete line of safer household and maintenance
solutions through established sales channels to the sharply expanding
