"Working with Lance on the launch of Clear2Go this year has been such a positive experience for us," said Stu Levitan, general manager at Applica Consumer Products. "Everywhere we go consumers ask us about what he's like, so we thought let's give them a chance to find out in a way that encourages health and fitness."
