Rockline Introduces Wipes Line

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- Rockline Industries here has introduced All-Purpose Wipes for infants.

The new wipes are designed to be larger, more convenient and more durable than the average baby wipe, and applicable to a multitude of uses. The wipes are made of a cloth-like material that won't tear but is still soft enough to use for personal hygiene. The 7.9-inch by 10.4-inch wipes are larger than a standard wipe. They are coated with an alcohol-free formula containing aloe and a fresh scent, which makes them appropriate for adult or kids' cleanup.

Available in Rockline's Fresh N'Up brand or in private label, All-Purpose Wipes come in a 45-count premium pop-up tub. They will be marketed near incontinence products, the company said.

Sassy Produces New Toys

Each item has been designed by child-development experts to stimulate baby's senses with sights, sounds, patterns and textures that invite curiosity. The products contain parts that move, bend, spin, squish and roll.

With suggested retail prices ranging from $5.49 to $9.99, the new toys are aimed at babies, in various stages of development, who are under two years of age.

Suggested retail price for an eight-count pack of four wrapped crackers is $1.39.
