Corcoran beats out fellow “sharks” for baby playpen slipcovers

In last night’s episode of the weekly ABC reality show “Shark Tank,” the Corcoran Group founder Barbara Corcoran and the other investors on the show’s panel listened to presentations from a woman hoping to expand her line of happiness-spreading products, a man hoping to expand his graffiti removal business and a man with a Web site where people can return unwanted gift cards. Corcoran beat out three other members of the show’s panel of sharks with a $350,000 investment for a stake in a company that makes slipcovers for babies’ playpens and markets them to hotels, cruise ships and parents.
