The statements made by Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. ("the Company”, or “us”) herein regarding the Company and its business may be forward-looking in nature and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements describe the Company’s future plans, projections, strategies and expectations, including statements regarding future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, prospective products, timing and likelihood of success, and objectives of management for future operations, and are based on certain assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including, but not limited to, the risks detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, and other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements include all statements which are not historical facts, and can generally be identified by terms such as anticipates, believes, could, estimates, intends, may, plans, projects, should, will, would, or the negative of those terms and similar expressions. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and may be beyond the Company’s control, you should not rely on these statements as predictions of future events.

All forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date hereof or otherwise.

Wamsutta 500 Thread Count PimaCott Sheet Set
Reviewed: July 2017 Price When Reviewed: $60.00 +
Pros • Good fabric strength • Excellent tear-resistance • Good pill-resistance • Washed well with minimal shrinkage • Fit sample mattress with room to spare • Rated soft by testers
Cons • Wrinkled appearance
Technical Specifications Fiber: 100% Pima cotton Fabric structure: Sateen Thread count: 500 Mattress depth: Up to 18 inches Sizes available: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King or California King Colors: 14 options
This Bed Bath & Beyond-exclusive set is made of 100% Pima cotton that's been DNA-tested to ensure you're getting premium cotton. It proved to be durable in our lab tests, from fabric strength to laundering evaluations, though it had a very wrinkled appearance immediately after it was removed from the dryer. Consumer testers said they liked the feel of the soft fabric, calling it nice and smooth.
How We Tested: We evaluated the durability of each sheet set by testing its fabric strength, tear resistance, pilling resistance, shrinkage after laundering and appearance after laundering. We also examined its wrinkle resistance and fit to mattress when new and after multiple wash cycles. We then had consumer testers blindly rate the fabric for softness and their opinion of the feel.
