Safety In The Bath And Shower | Showering Enthusiast

PR Newswire:

Safety is an important part of our high product standards. As a precaution, Villeroy & Boch would therefore like to advise you of a safety campaign being run by our subsidiary company Ucosan bv Roden (Netherlands).

With earlier versions of certain bath models made of Quaryl(R), a heavy fall could, under unfavourable conditions, lead to material cracks in the bathtubs. These may result from a sudden impact on a particular point that could be caused, for example, by knees or elbows during a fall in an empty bath. In very seldom cases the cracks led to cuts requiring medical attention. Most of the Quaryl baths concerned were sold under the name “Ucosan”, although some were also sold under the name “Villeroy & Boch”.

This is only likely to occur under the unfortunate circumstances set out above - there is no risk associated with normal bathing and showering.
