Forgettable Consumer Products

This is a dataset I put together from the information provided by Productscan®. I listed Productscan's Notable innovations for each year from 1998 to 2003, the manufacturer of the innovation, where available, and data from the websites of either Peapod, CVS, or Home Depot which indicated whether they stocked the item or not.  This is the information I used to generate the IBA Update on Notable New Consumer Products
