Peer comment(s):

agree Laurel Porter (X) : Yes - and it looks as if it's becoming a standard term in English, like kleenex for tissue, so you could capitalize it or not as is appropriate (specific ref. to brand name should be capitalized, of course).

Peer comment(s):

agree Laurel Porter (X) : Yes, but I think if "Akja rescue sleds" is used, it may need to be capitalized, as it then seems to act as a brand name.
