"Hands Off Baby" Company Aims To Fight Off Germs

By KSFY Staff

A family in Florida says it has a new product to help keep infants safe from H1N1 and other diseases.

After having triplets, the Aaron family decided it needed a way to keep strangers from touching its new arrivals.

So, the family members came up with these new signs. They say "Wash Hands Before Touching Baby."

The warnings can be clipped to cribs and strollers and car seats aimed at making strangers think twice before touching kids.

"It's just a gentle way to tell them we are trying to protect them so can you clean your hands or just enjoy them from afar so it's safe for everyone," said Christie Aaron.

Hands Off Baby is now in 55 hospitals and 12 baby retailers across the country.
