New York – September 18, 2026 -- Hublot has unveiled the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons, a limited-edition watch collaboration inspired by the artist's iconic mirrored balloon sculptures. The 42mm timepiece comes in three editions -- mirror-polished stainless steel, red anodized aluminum, and blue anodized aluminum -- with each edition capped at 200 pieces.

The watch reworks the traditionally flat, sleek Classic Fusion case into a design that mimics inflated volume, as though shaped by air pressure. Domed sapphire crystal, rounded titanium screw heads, a convex 'puffy' dial, and a padded metallic leather strap all contribute to the illusion of an inflatable object rendered in metal.

Pittsburgh – September 18, 2026 -- An inventor from Newport Beach, California, has designed a disposable accessory intended to absorb urine leakage in men immediately after urination, reducing wet spots, stains, and odors.

The design targets light leakage in men 40 and older

The product, called CAPS, is built for comfort while offering what the inventor describes as added protection and peace of mind for men experiencing minor post-urination drips.

"I wanted to create an absorbent accessory to prevent embarrassing urine leaks, stains, and odors for men," the inventor said, adding that the goal was a comfortable design that provides extra reassurance.

The concept was submitted through InventHelp's Orange County office

The original design went through InventHelp's Orange County sales office and is now available for licensing or sale to manufacturers and marketers under the designation Dept. 25-OCC-1851.

Miami – September 18, 2026 -- Capillus, a red light therapy company, has expanded into pet wellness with two new devices: the Capillus Pet Vest, priced at $299, and the Capillus Pet Joint Wrap, priced at $199. Both products are available now at Capillus.com.

The devices use red and near-infrared light to support joint and muscle comfort

The Pet Vest fits like a harness across a dog's chest, stomach, and back, and comes in medium and large sizes to fit different breeds. It delivers light therapy simultaneously to the back and belly for full-body support, offering four modes -- steady, calm, recovery, and wellness -- and three intensity levels: low, medium, and high. Owners are instructed to use it for 20 minutes, three to four times per week.

The Pet Joint Wrap targets leg and joint areas, aimed at larger dogs prone to deep-tissue stiffness and injury.

Bohemia, N.Y. – September 18, 2026 -- Vitafusion has launched Vital NMN Gummies, a Tropical Glow-flavored supplement delivering 300 mg of Vital NMN Bioactive Nucleotide per day to support NAD+ levels, cellular health and vitality.

The product marks the brand's first major innovation since joining the Piping Rock Health Products family and arrives alongside a TikTok-first marketing push called "Aging? Love It."

NMN targets NAD+ decline linked to aging

NMN acts as a precursor to NAD+, a molecule found in nearly every cell that plays a role in cellular energy production. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and NMN has become a widely discussed ingredient among wellness consumers seeking to address that drop.

New Century, Kan. – September 18, 2026 -- As homeowners winterize furnaces, gutters and vehicles, Morgan's Repellent is urging property owners to add rodent prevention to the fall checklist, warning that most standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover rodent damage.

The University of Minnesota Extension has reported an uptick in mouse and squirrel activity as fall approaches, noting that mice seek warm, safe spaces in sheds, garages, campers and homes. Because pest infestations are typically treated as preventable property-maintenance issues rather than covered losses, the financial risk falls on homeowners once rodents establish themselves.

Garland, Texas – September 18, 2026 -- Massimo Group has launched the Mini Truck, a two-passenger recreational go-kart with retro pickup styling, built exclusively for Tractor Supply Company ahead of the 2026 holiday season.

The Mini Truck runs on a 125cc four-stroke engine with reverse gear

The vehicle uses a three-speed transmission with reverse, an upgraded digital display, and LED lighting throughout, including rear lights. It seats two people in individual seats, with an adjustable driver's seat, and is designed for riders 16 and older.

The model builds on Massimo's existing Mini 125 platform

Rather than a wholly new product, the Mini Truck reworks the design of Massimo's established Mini 125 go-kart line into a compact-truck aesthetic. Massimo Group CEO Quenton Petersen said the company wanted to give Tractor Supply customers "something that feels new, fun and immediately recognizable" for the holiday shopping period.

Miami – September 18, 2026 -- Protein bar brand TRUBAR and matcha café chain Cha Cha Matcha have launched a joint collaboration bringing a new limited-edition matcha protein bar, a custom café drink and a protein-boosted cold foam to stores and select café locations.

The Love You So Cha Cha Matcha bar pairs white chocolate with matcha notes.

Seoul – September 18, 2026 -- South Korean healthcare brand PAINSTUDY Inc. has launched a new line of functional muscle and joint patches, expanding a product lineup built on years of domestic online sales feedback.

The patches target everyday muscle and joint fatigue

The skin-adhesive patches are designed for quick application without complicated steps, letting users address discomfort during daily activities. PAINSTUDY says the products use quality-controlled ingredients paired with ergonomic design to improve safety and adhesion.

Customer feedback shaped the new lineup

Rather than simply adding new items, PAINSTUDY says it built the line around inconveniences and needs voiced directly by existing customers. The company had already established a consumer base through major domestic e-commerce platforms including Coupang and Naver Smart Store.

Elizabethtown – September 18, 2026 -- Patrick Clark of Clark Jewelers in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, says jewelry owners can protect their rings, necklaces, and bracelets without expensive products or complicated routines, just consistent daily habits.

Removing jewelry before chores prevents chemical damage

Clark recommends taking off rings before washing dishes, swimming, or applying cosmetics, since even mild household cleaning products can dull metal finishes and loosen settings over time. He advises cleaning jewelry gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth to remove daily buildup of dirt and oils.

Frequent cleaning isn't necessary, but consistency is

A quick wipe after each wear helps stop buildup that clouds gemstones and reduces brilliance, according to Clark. He notes that properly drying jewelry after washing is often overlooked, yet it prevents water spots and moisture damage.
