“We couldn’t be more excited about launching this new product,” said Kyle Tengwall, GM of Personal Defense Division. “We have had tremendous consumer feedback on the LifeLite® and the TCP® for the last two years, and we have received demand for the addition of a pocket-sized PepperBall® unit. We took the feedback to heart and created the Compact launcher, which allows us to introduce our product to new customers such as runners, hikers and many others who want to defend themselves on the go, at a moment’s notice. The Compact definitely delivers on that.”
