Swedish Startup Plegium Releases World’s First Smart Pepper Spray

Transforming the Personal Safety Industry

LAS VEGAS--()--Swedish company Plegium, founded early 2017, will be releasing the world’s first Smart Pepper Spray – aptly named the “Smart Pepper Spray” – in the US at CES 2019 in Las Vegas (Booth #52769).

The Plegium Smart Pepper Spray is the world's most advanced personal safety product. It's a pepper spray that connects to your phone. When you fire the pepper spray, your phone immediately and automatically sends a text message with your location to your emergency contacts. On top of that, your emergency contacts receive an automatic phone call informing them that you are in danger. The location text messages and phone calls are enabled by the FREE Plegium app, available on the App Store and Google Play. The Smart Pepper Spray is also equipped with a 130 dB siren and strobe LEDs and has a 4-year, no-charging battery life.

The Smart Pepper Spray is available at Amazon for $69.95.
