CASPER, Wyo., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — It started with a string of headlines: a woman spiked by coworkers at her office. Two young women drugged on vacation. A teacher allegedly spiked by her students. A man caught on video putting superglue in a colleague’s soda. For Tara Cauchi, a creative brand strategist and mother of two, these weren’t just shocking stories—they were the final push to create something that should have already existed.
Enter Baricade, the first fingerprint-locked water bottle, designed to prevent unauthorized access with a twist cap that only opens for you. It’s portable, practical, and powered by biometric security, offering users peace of mind whether they’re working out, traveling, or on a college campus.
“I was drink-spiked years ago, but what alarmed me was seeing how often it’s happening now—and not just in bars,” says Cauchi, Baricade’s founder and CEO. “I wanted a solution that moved from reactive detection to proactive prevention. That’s why we created Baricade—to be, as we say, Secure AF.”

“This bottle is such a unique yet important accessory for anyone who wants to keep their drink more secure,” says one verified user. “This sort of need has no age limit; I personally have known people who were 20 when their drink was tampered with, and someone who was in their 70s when it happened!”
Securing Every Sip
With 77% of U.S. college students reporting they’ve been drugged or know someone who has, Baricade meets a critical need. This summer, they’ll launch Baricade KidGuard, bringing the same protection to the backpack, sports bag, or classroom for school age children.
