Published

on

Invisible Fence® Brand is on a mission to prevent pets from filling shelters with their contest awarding $20,000 to support animal shelters across the country. Voting opens today until September 30, 2024.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Invisible Fence® Brand is hosting its sixth annual nationwide From Shelter to Forever Home Contest, awarding one animal shelter $10,000 and donating needed supplies to several other shelters. This initiative aims to bring awareness to lost dogs and educate pet parents about solutions to keep their furry friends safe, ensuring they don’t join the ranks of the millions of lost pets that fill shelters every year. The program will kick off on August 1st, with voting lasting until September 30th. As the pioneer in the pet containment industry, Invisible Fence® Brand asks the community to unite around this cause to continue promoting the initiative of keeping pets safe in their forever homes.

Raising Awareness for Lost Pets
According to the American Humane Society, approximately ten million dogs and cats are lost in the U.S. every year and less than 23% are reunited with their owners*. Through the From Shelter to Forever Home Contest, Invisible Fence® Brand hopes to reduce the number of missing pets and help increase the shelter’s return-to-owner rates. From August 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024, the public is invited to nominate their local animal shelter to give them a chance to win a grand prize of $10,000, donated on behalf of Invisible Fence® Brand. The shelter or rescue with the most nominations on September 30th will win the monetary donation. Additionally, Invisible Fence® will award $10,000 worth of supplies spread across 20 shelters nationwide to further support the mission.

“We’re thrilled to host our From Shelter to Forever Home Contest for a sixth year in a row”, said Marta Dalton, vice president of marketing for Invisible Fence® Brand. “Over the past six years, we have seen great success in this initiative in sharing our mission and passion for protecting pets. Invisible Fence® Brand, the leader in pet containment backed by over 50 years of experience, continues to keep this program live to ensure pets live a happy, healthy life while giving them the freedom they deserve.”

Shelters and rescue organizations across the U.S. are rallying for nominations and need their community’s support. We encourage you to share the contest on social media and nominate your local shelter by visiting https://www.invisiblefence.com/shelter-to-forever-home-contest to cast your vote.

From Shelter to Forever Home Making an Impact
2023 Grand Prize Winner Rags to Riches Animal Rescue received $10,000 to support their fight against a life-threatening parvovirus case that affected a handful of puppies in their care. With help from Invisible Fence® Brand, they were able to treat the puppies that otherwise would have resulted in euthanasia. “We are very appreciative of Invisible Fence® Brand for all the help that they give, not to us, but to all of the animals every day. Thank you so much for everything!” said Sierra, volunteer for Rags to Riches Animal Rescue.

Preventing Lost Pets Before They Become Lost
In addition to raising awareness for tools and resources to return lost pets to their families, Invisible Fence® Brand advocates products and solutions that prevent pets from escaping their yards. Since 1973, Invisible Fence® Brand has protected over three million cats and dogs with their outdoor containment solutions, including Boundary Plus® Wired System, Boundary Plus Smart® System, and all-new Invisible Fence® GPS Collar.

“We always want to avoid a lost dog, so an underground fence gives us ease in knowing the dog is going home to a secure environment. It allows the dog the freedom to roam their property safely. Dogs are great for being socialized on leashes for walks, but they also need that free time to run around and just be dogs. Invisible Fence® Brand creates that possibility!” said Kirstin Mende, chief executive officer and founder of Lucky Dog Refuge.

“Our exclusive technology is only a small part of what makes Invisible Fence® Brand the safest and most dependable pet containment solutions on the market,” said Wally Shaw, general manager for Invisible Fence® Brand. “But it is our team of certified pet trainers that ensure pets are successfully trained to guarantee confidence, comfortability and freedom within their boundaries.”

Taking preventative measures like installing an Invisible Fence® Brand system and recovery measures are the best ways to keep your pet within safe boundaries and living happily in their forever homes.

Mitolyn Alerts Consumers About Misleading Third-Party Resellers and Reinforces Commitment to Product Integrity

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, March 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The official brand behind Mitolyn has issued a public advisory regarding unauthorized third-party resellers misrepresenting the product online. Reports of unverified vendors listing non-official versions of Mitolyn across various platforms have surfaced, leading to confusion among consumers.

The official Mitolyn brand has been receiving complaints from individuals who unknowingly made purchases from unverified sources, later realizing discrepancies in packaging, labeling, and product details. This has raised concerns about authenticity and product integrity, as the original product was developed only under Bioventra’s portfolio of advanced formulations.

In response to these growing concerns, the company has issued an official statement emphasizing that Mitolyn should only be purchased through its official website to ensure quality and authenticity.

 

Unverified Resellers Causing Widespread Confusion

In recent weeks, multiple consumer reports have highlighted the increasing prevalence of unauthorized sellers listing Mitolyn outside of the brand’s verified distribution channels. This issue is not unique to Mitolyn, as the broader supplement industry has faced similar challenges with third-party vendors presenting themselves as legitimate sources.

The official brand has actively monitored unauthorized listings and is committed to raising awareness about the potential risks associated with purchasing from unknown third-party vendors.

While some unauthorized sellers may present Mitolyn as genuine, discrepancies in packaging, ingredients, and descriptions have raised red flags. Some consumers have reported receiving products that appear different from what is shown on official materials, while others have struggled with returns and refund processes due to unclear seller policies.

 

Customer Complaints Highlight Need for Greater Awareness

Consumer reports received by the official Mitolyn brand have included concerns such as:

Product inconsistencies – Some customers noted that the labeling, logo placement, or product descriptions did not match official representations.Ingredient discrepancies – While the core formulation of Mitolyn remains proprietary, there have been concerns about whether third-party products match the expected ingredient profile.Unclear storage conditions – Customers have questioned whether Mitolyn’s third-party resellers handle and store the product correctly, as dietary supplements require specific conditions to maintain quality.Limited customer support – Many individuals who purchased Mitolyn from non-official sources found that customer service inquiries went unanswered, leaving them unable to address concerns or seek refunds.

A spokesperson for the official Mitolyn brand commented:
 “We take product integrity seriously and are committed to ensuring that consumers receive only authentic formulations. Unfortunately, unauthorized sellers sometimes misrepresent products, leading to confusion. We encourage customers to remain vigilant when verifying sources.”

 

The Rise of Unauthorized Supplement Sellers

Unauthorized supplement resellers have become a growing issue across various e-commerce platforms, social media marketplaces, and third-party retail websites. Many third-party sellers attempt to capitalize on Mitolyn’s demand, sometimes presenting products at unrealistic discounts or listing them in ways that do not align with official brand communications.

This trend has led to several industry-wide concerns, including:

Unverified product origins – Some sellers source products through unauthorized means, making it difficult for consumers to determine where and how the product was handled before purchase.Potential product substitutions – In some cases, third-party vendors list a product under a brand name, Mitolyn, for instance, but ship alternative formulations or lookalike substitutes.Misleading discount strategies – Some resellers attempt to lure in customers with extremely low prices, which can indicate unverified stock or repackaged items.

While Mitolyn’s official brand is actively monitoring unauthorized sales, the company emphasizes that consumers should take proactive steps to avoid misleading listings.

 

How Consumers Can Identify Official Product Sources

Consumers can take several steps to avoid misleading third-party listings and ensure they are purchasing authentic products. It is important to examine product details carefully, checking for inconsistencies in labeling, packaging, or branding that may indicate a non-official Mitolyn version. Pricing should also be reviewed with caution, as significantly lower prices than usual may suggest an unauthorized seller. Verifying the legitimacy of the seller by researching whether they are recognized as an authorized distributor can help prevent confusion. Lastly, consumers are encouraged to confirm product details through official channels to ensure accuracy and authenticity.

 

Company Response & Consumer Safety Commitment

The official Mitolyn brand has reaffirmed its commitment to consumer safety, product integrity, and transparency. With the increase in unauthorized sales, the company remains focused on educating customers about product authenticity.

“We are committed to making sure that individuals who seek out Mitolyn receive the correct formulation as originally designed. By raising awareness about misleading third-party listings, we hope to prevent unnecessary confusion and ensure a positive customer experience,” the spokesperson added.

Additionally, the company is actively monitoring third-party sales channels and taking steps to minimize unauthorized Mitolyn product listings that could misrepresent the brand.

 

Final Advisory for Consumers

With misleading third-party listings continuing to appear across various online marketplaces, consumers are encouraged to be diligent in verifying sources before making a purchase. The official Mitolyn brand has issued this advisory to help prevent further confusion and misinformation.

For updates regarding product authenticity and verification measures, consumers can refer to official sources.

Muon Space Deploys FireSat Protoflight, Marking a Major Milestone in Global Wildfire Monitoring

Initial FireSat satellite is healthy, paving the way for improved real-time wildfire intelligence and future constellation expansion

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Muon Space, an end-to-end space systems provider, has successfully launched the FireSat Protoflight satellite, marking a significant milestone in the deployment of the FireSat constellation. This groundbreaking initiative aims to transform global wildfire detection, monitoring, and response.

Designed and built by Muon Space—including its state-of-the-art six-channel multispectral infrared (IR) instrument—FireSat showcases the company’s expertise in delivering fully integrated, mission-tailored satellite systems from concept to operation. Launched aboard SpaceX’s Transporter 13 rideshare mission on March 14 from Vandenberg Space Force Base, Muon Space has successfully established communications with the satellite and confirmed its operational health.

“The FireSat mission exemplifies Muon Space’s ability to rapidly design, build, and deploy high-performance remote sensing systems tailored to address complex, real-world challenges,” said Jonny Dyer, CEO of Muon Space. “FireSat is just the beginning—we are demonstrating how purpose-built constellations can deliver transformative solutions at the speed our customers and partners require.”

Announced in May 2024, the FireSat Constellation is a collaboration between Muon Space and Earth Fire Alliance, combining Muon’s expertise in space-based remote sensing with the Alliance’s deep knowledge of wildfire management and response strategies. This partnership aims to enhance global wildfire response, management, and situational awareness by providing actionable data to first responders, policymakers, and communities facing escalating wildfire threats.

Working closely with hundreds of members of the federal, state, and local fire communities, Muon Space developed the FireSat system and delivered its first satellite to orbit in just 16 months. The initiative has been supported by leading NGOs and philanthropic organizations, including Environmental Defense Fund, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and others.

“Designing and building an advanced infrared instrument capable of detecting wildfires with high confidence required significant scientific and engineering innovation,” said Dan McCleese, Chief Scientist of Muon Space. “This achievement underscores Muon Space’s ability to push the boundaries of space-based observation, advancing not only wildfire intelligence but also a broad range of critical operational, scientific, and security applications.”

The planned 50+-satellite constellation will eventually provide global coverage with each point on Earth observed every 20 minutes with key wildfire-prone regions benefiting from more frequent observations.

“FireSat is a game-changer for wildfire response,” said Brian Collins, Executive Director of Earth Fire Alliance. “For too long, decision-makers have relied on outdated or incomplete fire data. FireSat is poised to provide persistent, high-fidelity, and detailed information that will empower end users to save more lives and structures, better protect ecosystems, and reduce economic losses.”

Muon is currently developing three additional satellites, which will launch in 2026. FireSat is expected to reach full operational capacity by 2030.
