NORTH HILLS, Calif. (Nov. 18, 2009) Munchkin, Inc., designer and manufacturer of clever infant and toddler products, in partnership with Church & Dwight Co., Inc., makers of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda, today unveiled the ARM & HAMMERTM Diaper Pail, a breakthrough diaper disposal system. The ARM & HAMMERTM Diaper Pail neutralizes odors in the nursery through a patented odor control system with the power of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda at its core.

"The most important thing about any diaper disposal system is that it controls odors. This new system employs the built-in power of ARM & HAMMER® baking soda to provide natural, safe and effective odor elimination," said Doug Gillespie, Munchkin Vice President of Marketing. "We also knew the pail had to be easy for parents to use, so we developed a patented self-sealing system and refill bags that you simply snap, seal and toss in the trash."

The ARM & HAMMER® name has been trusted for generations to eliminate odors, and Munchkin is known to today's parents for delivering clever solutions to their everyday needs. The ARM & HAMMERTM Diaper Pail has numerous innovations that reflect the respective strengths of the two brands.

Baking Soda Dispenser: A built-in, vented dispenser sprinkles odor-eliminating baking soda each time the lid is closed and continuously absorbs and eliminates odors even when not in use.
Self-Sealing System: Munchkin's patented system automatically seals the bag when the lid is closed and keeps it sealed when the lid is reopened.
Snap, Seal and Toss Bags: The disposable refill bags, each of which can hold up to 25 diapers, shut tight with a snap and can be easily tossed and replaced without cutting or tying.

The ARM & HAMMERTM Diaper Pail and refills will be available in stores nationally in November 2009.
