CVS is introducing a new line of tweezers, nail clippers and other self-care
tools designed to be easier for people with disabilities to use.

The drugstore's Universal Tools collection includes six items that the
company said were all created in collaboration with members of the
disability community.

The nail clippers, scissors, tweezers, nail nippers, cuticle nippers and
pumice stones have special features to make them more accessible like wide,
open handles and non-slip, easy-to-grip silicone, CVS said. Surveys and
in-home testing informed the products and their packaging.

"We know that it's not enough to just stand for inclusivity and diversity -
it needs to be seen through the products and services we are providing,"
said Andrea Harrison, vice president of merchandising for beauty and
personal care at CVS Health. "The introduction of the Universal Tools
collection ladders back to our continued efforts to make self-care solutions
more inclusive for all of our consumers."

The new products are part of CVS' one+other brand, which debuted earlier
this year with an eye toward offering consumers a way to practice self-care
at an accessible price point, the company indicated.

The Universal Tools collection is available online

nationwide with prices ranging from $6.49 to $16.99.
