Universal Security Instruments (UUU) Introduces Revolutionary Plug-In Carbon Monoxide/Natural Gas Alarm

OWINGS MILLS, Md., Aug. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Universal Security Instruments, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: UUU) (Universal) announced today the introduction of two revolutionary plug-in alarms which use a single sensor to detect the presence of both carbon monoxide and natural gas (methane). These models are designed to satisfy the requirements of the Canadian market place and will be introduced by a major Canadian retailer in time to take advantage of this year’s peak selling season for Carbon Monoxide alarms.

Harvey Grossblatt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, noted that, “Universal’s plug-in Carbon Monoxide alarms also provide the added protection of natural gas detection and will retail for approximately the same cost as our competitors’ carbon monoxide-only plug-in alarms. Deaths and injuries caused by natural gas leaks have become an increasing problem and this added protection should help to save many lives.”
