In the mid-1990s, a series of items were released under the "Quest Laboratories"
brand, as if the items were made for people working with Dr. Quest in one of his
labs.

This full size Jonny Quest umbrella was sold in 1995 as an exclusive at the Hanna-Barbera

proclaiming this a "Liquid Radiation Shield"; on another "Made

A Swiss-Army style pocket knife (3" long) with key chain, cork-screw, can-opener,
knife blades, etc. "Quest Laboratories - Since 1964 (©HBPI 1994)" printed on the
handle. Hang-tag has H-B Logo and image of Dr. Benton Quest on one side, Jonny Quest

Quest Laboratories Lenticular Mouse Pad
Made exclusively for the H-B employee's store, in 1994. The pad was made using
lenticular printing,
which means it has two images that crossfade as the viewing position changes.

This view shows the "Quest Laboratories" symbol fading and the underlying characters showing up better.
At another angle, you could see the Bandit-enriched Quest Laboratories logo.
Quest Laboratories "Radioactive Waste" Metal Wastecan, 1994
This waste bucket, interesting by itself, also contained several items from "Quest
Laboratories," including a Jonny Quest Mouse Pad, a "Real Adventures of
Jonny Quest" baseball hat and some Jonny Quest Pogs. This package was a give-away
from Hanna-Barbera as a promotion for the new Jonny Quest series.
(7 inches tall by 6-1/2 inches in diameter)
Quest Laboratories Satchel, 1994
A soft nylon black satchel (soft sided briefcase) 15" x 12" x 3" with loop handles,
an adjustable and detachable over-the-shoulder carrying strap, and inside divider.
The divider has a penholder and two small pouches, one with a plastic window for
business cards or the included "Classified Data" card.
On the outside of the case is a large side pocket with an open top for holding a
writing pad. This side has a rubber like surfaced logo image of Bandit sitting on
top of a yellow oval shape (with red outlining) and "Quest Laboratories" written
on it. Under the oval are the words "Really Secret Documents." (see image at right,
above)
Inside is a label that reads "This product was made exclusively for the Hanna-Barbera
Employees Store, 1994 Edition. Jonny Quest, 1994 Hanna-Barbera Productions." A
second label says "MARKET WHOLESALES CO."
Quest Laboratories Ball Cap
We picked this up on eBay, and it's almost certainly an unlicensed item.
There's a tag for the manufacturer, LitePro, but no trademark or copyright notice.
