Nothing but safety was put into the design of the lanyard which includes a magnetic clasp for an easy release. The strength of the lanyard is unbeatable because it is made from a stainless steel nylon coated flexible wire, tested for strength at 26 lbs! Why ‘Fox 40 Classic’ whistles?? I originally wanted the whistles to be as beautiful as the lanyards but found that most of the ‘petite’ or ‘small tube’ like whistles were not going to provide enough noise. After extensive research, I found the ‘Fox 40 Classic’ whistle. Not only is it available in several different colors, it would provide a flawless performance in any situation. The whistle was invented by international basketball referee Ron Foxcroft; the Fox 40 Classic is the whistle of choice for all sports and safety applications. Fox 40 whistles never fail! • The Whistle itself is a ‘FOX 40 Classic’ whistle which is ‘Pea-less’-means nothing to choke on, waterproof, and can be heard up to a mile away. Its 115 decibel blast rises well above man-made and environmental noise. • The Fox 40 Sport & Safety Classic is designed to be heard above ambient noise, the roar of engines, breaking waves and thundering gale-force winds. The chambers are designed to self-clear when submerged in water. There are no moving parts to freeze, jam or deteriorate.

Out of concern for the safety of her 2 daughters the idea of the ‘Fashion Safety Whistle’ came about.
