$5,000.00 RED THING™ CONSUMER CHALLENGE

1. Product Description

     The Red Thing™ is a hold-open tab comprised of hardened steel which is utilized with residential door closer devices, to independently hold storm and screen doors in an opened position for an indefinite period of time under normal usage and conditions. The mechanism was originally developed as a replacement tab to be retrofitted onto existing devices. Confidently, the mechanism is guaranteed for the remaining life of the door closer device (please see Door Butler® General Product Warranty). A typical door closer device comprises a 1.25" or 1.50" diameter body with a .3125" diameter rod.

2. Merits Of The Challenge

     When properly installed on a typical door closer device and while holding the door in any opened position, the Red Thing™ should never slip and fail causing the door towards the closed position. Under tests conducted by the inventor Ricardo Alonso and the parent company R.A. Products Company Inc., the mechanism has never slipped nor failed. Therefore, whether or not the mechanism could be commissioned to slip and fail is not entirely known, nor is the functioning life of the mechanism entirely known. Slipping and failing does not include any condition caused by intentional vaulting or abrupt movement caused to the device whether intentional or not, and does not include altering, destroying, defects in materials and workmanship, and natural wearing for the mechanism and/or the device.

3. The Challenge

     The following challenge is issued in good faith to determine whether or not the Red Thing™ could actually be commissioned to slip and fail causing a door towards the closed position as described above:

R.A. Products Company Inc. will pay up to $5,000.00 to the first person who encounters that the Red Thing™ has substantially slipped and failed while functioning under normal usage and conditions.

     Should a challenger actually determine that the mechanism has slipped and failed while under normal usage and conditions, the challenger must submit an affidavit attesting that no fraudulent act has been committed contributing to such an incident.  The challenger must also replicate and demonstrate the incident at a company appointed testing facility. Excluding any fraudulent act,  should there be any discretion concerning such an incident the testing facility in it’s sole discretion shall decide whether or not the incident is genuine and whether or not the challenger shall be awarded the prize.
