KATANA Arc Selected as One of This Year's Oprah's Favorite ThingsAnnual list of this season’s holiday must-haves featured in the December issue of O, The Oprah Magazine and on OprahMag.com GREENVILLE, S.C., Nov. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KATANA Safety announced today that the KATANA Arc is included in this year’s Oprah’s Favorite Things holiday gift list featured in the December issue of O, The Oprah Magazine and on OprahMag.com. The Oprah’s Favorite Things annual list is a must-have holiday shopping guide that features the most decadent desserts, ingenious gadgets, and finest finds in home, fashion, and beauty. The KATANA Arc will be available for purchase at https://www.katanasafety.com, and in the Oprah’s Favorite Things storefront on Amazon at amazon.com/oprah or on the Amazon App anytime, anywhere. New this year, shoppers will also be able to shop the list via shoppable video content streaming from their Amazon Fire TV devices by opening the Amazon Shopping App on their Fire TV device and selecting Oprah’s Favorite Things to browse video content. As Oprah says in the December issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, “It’s a panic button, it’s a GPS tracker, it’s a line to local law enforcement – it’s the KATANA Arc, a security system that attaches to your phone and can help fend off danger if, God forbid, you ever find yourself in a scarysituation.” The patented KATANA Arc is the first of three layers of defense in the KATANA Safety solution. The ultra-slim Arc is a panic button / audible siren duo designed to attach to any smartphone. The Arc features two types of alarms — a piercing audible siren and a discreet silent alert button. The audible alarm can be activated by simply pulling the red tab with your finger, or by pulling a hidden wristband attached to the Arc. Both the audible and silent alarm trigger the second layer of defense, a 24/7 Response Center. When alerted, the KATANA Safety Response Center will contact you with the option of contacting local authorities, or alerting the third layer of defense, the Circle of Seven. The KATANA Safety Circle of Seven is part of the KATANA Safety app that allows you to choose up to seven of your friends and loved ones to be contacted with your location in case of an emergency. “We are passionate about our purpose of preventing sexual assault and other vulnerable situations – I’m excited that this incredible honor of being chosen as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things will help with that mission,” said Todd Baldree, Founder of KATANA Safety and Inventor of the Arc.
