A concern for safety can hardly be considered "maligning". The Mr [cold
draft] Buddy is hardly a direct competitor for any vented furnace. It's
merely another sweat-shop-made-in-China product that makes people feel
better they got a fabulous deal for $ X --that's my opinion--which I am
certainly entitled to, no matter what product I sell or don't sell.
