 Wakefield, 13 June 2012 -- We are very happy to introduce the Freezycup^TM, a plastic-free individual freezer pop mold made of high quality stainless steel. There are lots of popsicle molds out there, but this one is truly unique. Here's why: 

• PLASTIC-FREE - Made with high quality, food grade, 18-8 (304) stainless steel.

• TESTED in a third party accredited laboratory to ensure the Freezycup™ is lead and phthalate-free in compliance with the U.S.Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (2008) (CPSIA) and the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA).

• SOLD with THREE reusable bamboo sticks and TWO interchangeable gaskets - One of the gaskets is blue, the other is red to ensure Charlie does not mistake his ice pop for Sophie's. 

• INDIVIDUAL CUP ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR A BULKY TRAY- As an individual mold, the Freezycup™ is very compact and does not use up the space required for a large tray in the freezer when you only have one left in the tray. Nicely fits into nooks and crannies in the freezer. 

• EASY TO REMOVE THE FROZEN ICE POP - Just a few seconds of under the tap hot water treatment and the ice pop comes out like magic, thanks to the heat conductivity of the stainless steel.

• VERSATILE IN DESIGN - Your child can use the cup to rest her ice pop while doing something else or to re-freeze it if it isn't finished. Even better, when the kids have grown out of it, use the cup to drink your favourite juice.

• DISHWASHER-SAFE - Both the cup and the lid can be washed in the dishwasher.

• ONLY $7.95 EACH! And 10% off if you purchase it online by June 30th, 2012, and use the coupon code: FREEZYCUP
