Posted On: cerebra charity jessica July 2013 trixie trunki
Last year we told you about our friend Jessica (8 years old), and her friend, Trixie Trunki, who helps her get out and about by carrying her oxygen tank. You can read the post by clicking here. We were thrilled to find out that Jessica recently completed a 1-mile walk to raise money for the 100,000 Smiles Appeal at her school. This is a huge accomplishment for Jessica, who has Cerebral Palsy and chronic lung disease, meaning she is dependent on an oxygen supply 24/7. Last year the charity Cerebra modified a Trunki so that it could carry Jessica’s oxygen cylinder. This...

Trunki Fights the Fakes!
Posted On: copies fakes July 2013 kiddee case pms rip off trunki

The legal case was won on three counts: Registered community design filed in 2003, Unregistered design on aspects of the design, and Copyright in aspects of the packaging. The ruling allows us to take out an injuction, blocking the sale of the Kiddee Case...
