BATHROOM fittings maker Flushmate, which supplies major toilet manufacturers such as Kohler and American Standard, said yesterday that a flushing mechanism being recalled in the United States and Canada was not used in China.
The US company began to recall more than 2.3 million units in June after 304 customers reported problems that had resulted 14 impact and laceration injuries.
The pressure from the defective system can lift and shatter toilet tank lids, according to newspaper reports.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning about the defect mechanism and the potential for laceration injuries.
The news sparked concern in China where Kohler and American Standard are hugely popular and widely used.
However, Richard Zhang, a representative of Flushmate China, said: "The defect systems have not flowed into China."
Kohler China also issued a statement yesterday reassuring Chinese customers and saying that the substandard system was not used in its toilets sold in China.
American Standard made a similar announcement.
