> "They are a distributor of the ETI Thermapen and nothing more except 'good friends' with the owners of ETI and that they have contributed design ideas to some versions of the Thermapen."

The text of the blog post also says "Today ThermoWorks also operates its own product design studio in Utah where innovative professional thermometers and timers are created for both companies." so Thermoworks is more than a distributor. jjeaff's representation of the blog post is clearly incorrect and should only increase suspicion of the original accusation of fraud.

I'll translate the corporate speak for you: We have no ownership in the Thermapen, which is our flagship product. But there are some other insignificant products that we have some ownership of which we won't name because no one has heard of them. We just wanted to muddy the water a bit and make it sound like we own the Thermapen and aren't just a retailer.
