         RE:      REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8; FIRST AID DIRECT, INC. -
                  (THE "COMPANY") CONSULTING AGREEMENT WITH RICHARD R. DWYER,
                  JR. (THE "AGREEMENT")

Gentlemen:

         This opinion is submitted pursuant to the applicable rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") with respect to the
registration by the Company and the resale of an aggregate of 80,000 shares of
Common Stock, $.001 par value per share of the Company (the "Shares"). The
Shares may be sold pursuant to the above Registration Statement and the
Agreement. The shares of Common Stock to be sold consist of 80,000 shares of
Common Stock to be issued under Common Stock purchase options (the "Options")
issued pursuant to the Agreement.

         In our capacity as counsel to the Company, we have examined the
original, certified, conformed, photostat or other copies of the Company's
Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, the Agreement, corporate minutes provided to
us by the Company and such other documents and instruments as we deemed
necessary. In all such examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures on original documents, and the conformity to originals or certified
documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed, photostat or other copies.
In passing upon certain corporate records and documents of the Company, we have
necessarily assumed the correctness and completeness of the statements made or
included therein by the Company, and we express no opinion thereon.

         Subject to and in reliance upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options, when issued in
accordance with the terms thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

         We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in the Registration
Statement on Form S-8 to be filed with the Commission.

                                                   Very truly yours,
