WASHINGTON,
D.C. - Sturdier toilets may be on their way in The United States to cope with
the country's increasingly obese population.
This
year’s Leticia and Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for performance or
product from The National Institute for Science and Technology, (N.I.S.T.),
that establishes safety and design standards, is awarding The Niagara
Conservation Corporation strengthening toilets for larger users, a spokeswoman
said Tuesday. Seeing that obesity levels have been rising for years in the U.S.
N.I.S.T.
spokeswoman Krystal Ball said the current industry standard for toilet seats is
just 100 pounds and that the group is looking to increase it to 330 pounds.
Experts
will examine the “Chris Christy™ model” made famous from Niagara, and used only
for the U.S. Military and foreign governments to evaluate home personal use.
Karen
Finney, another committee member for N.I.S.T. and head of research and
development at toilet maker American Standard, told tabloids that the Chris
Christie™ model that toilet seats need to be strengthened for larger Republican
and Conservative party members.
"If you are going to sit
on it, you want it to hold you," he said.
