Humidifier sterilizers were big sellers back in early 2000s, but Pigeon, a Korean household product maker, refused to manufacture them.
The company examined the necessity of the product, questioning whether the customers would want the product consistently and whether they would last in the years to come. Pigeon also looked into the origin of the substances used in the product and discovered they were not the outcome of a lengthy research and development process, but a chemical compound mostly supplied by OEM companies.
“We chose not to release the product, focusing on the possibility of the substances being inhaled by humans,” the company said in a statement Sunday. Pigeon is one of only a few households product companies not mentioned in the recent toxicity scandal surrounding companies that sold toxic disinfectants, resulting hundreds of death.
There has not been a single boycott sparked over its products, as they are made on the company’s founding philosophy that prioritizes nature and consumer safety, the firm said.
None of Pigeons’ products contain the harmful substances CMIT and MIT, according to a government report on all household biocide products sold in the country. The study was conducted following a report which found toxic chemicals in daily household goods, including toothpastes.
According to Pigeon, its multipurpose antibacterial cleaner Bisol only kills harmful germs, wiping away 99.9 percent of some 50 different germs that are responsible for food poisoning, diarrhea and more in less than 3 minutes.
Bisol-line products, made with substances approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, were the first in Korea to acquire the Korea Testing and Research Institute’s validation for safety and sterilization.
“Sticking with the brand’s eco-friendly formula and founding philosophy, we will continue efforts to produce safe household goods, as the pioneer and forerunner in local household products market,” a company official said.
In order to offer a variety of goods that are safe for consumers to use, the brand has ramped up its production line.
Its newly released hand sanitizer, dehumidifying agent and bleach are made with a self-developed formula, which the brand researched for 3 years. Pigeon also plans to roll out mild products for babies by the end of this year, the company said.
Fabric softener and detergent that the firm will unveil next month have obtained an atopic eczema certification from Korea Atopy Association.

Researchers at the University of Ghent have isolated Salmonella Enteritidis phage type 4 (PT4), an important human pathogen, from a population of feral pigeons in Brussels.
Salmonella enterica infections in pigeons are generally associated with pigeon-adapted strains of serovar Typhimurium that are of little public health concern. A high prevalence of 33% of Salmonella Enteritidis in Brussels combined with dense pigeonpopulations suggest that feral pigeons may constitute a significant, but unrevealed reservoir forcontracting salmonellosis in the urban environment.

A council is still fighting a long-term war with pigeons over the blight of droppings in the town.
Members of Mold Town Council are still looking into humane ways to deal with pigeons in the town centre, especially in the Daniel Owen square.
During a meeting of the council, members were told that several options were being explored to deal with the scourge.
Cllr Phil Thomas questioned whether the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds should be contacted to advise the best way to deal with the birds.
Cllr Chris Bithell added: “We have had offers from one of the pigeon farriers, who is prepared to come and give us advice on how to tackle this issue in a bird friendly way.
”I don’t think we should lose sight of this and it is a long term problem which is not going to go away.”
Minutes from a meeting of the town council’s community, development and regeneration committee, held earlier this month, also included details of the ongoing problem.
It said: “Pigeons within the town, especially around the Daniel Owen Square area, were still causing issues with regards to droppings on the benches and pavements.
”Streetscene were now cleaning the benches on the square once a week to help reduce the problem.
”A number of humane deterrents had been looked into but not considered suitable.
”The town manager has contacted Flintshire Council regarding placement of spikes on the roof of the town hall and was awaiting reply.”
The debate is the latest in a string of conversations about how to tackle the problem, with the introduction of birds of prey and dishing out fines for people feeding pigeons all being considered.
Earlier this year, the Mold Invitation Homing Society was invited to meet with the council to discuss the problem of pigeons fouling in the town centre after it raised concerns about plans to introduce falcons and hawks.
Last year the council considered whether it should ban people feeding birds in the Daniel Owen Square in Mold, which had just undergone a £500,000 revamp.
Mr Hill said at the time the council had been exploring using a Public Spaces Protection Order to deal with issues of anti-social behaviour and could include the issue of bird feeding.

A retired worker man has been scrupulously looking after a pigeon that was born blind in the Black Sea province of Amasya.
Halil Kuru, who lives in Amasya’s Taşova district, carries the blind pigeon named “Pamuk” (Cotton) everywhere he goes. He expressed his affection for pigeons and said that he loved keeping pigeons from a young age.
Kuru keeps the pigeon in a cage he built in his garden and looks after 10 other pigeons too. The man feeds the bird himself, as it is unable to eat by itself.
“I like keeping and taking care of it, it’s not hard to do this. Everyone can keep a healthy bird, but it’s extra important to take care of a disabled bird. I show motherly affection and support it to survive, however I struggle to keep it alive. If I hadn’t showed it enough attention, it would have been dead by now. I cannot go to town because of Pamuk, but if I have to, I take it with me wherever I go, there is no one at home who could look after it, my wife is working, and my daughter goes to school,” he said.
He said the biggest problem they face were cats that prey on pigeons. “I have other pigeons too, but I love Pamuk the most. I feed it and put its cage with the other pigeons when I’m out, and the first thing I do is feed him when I come back home.”
Kuru said Pamuk was now a member of their family.
