SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Sturdier toilets may be on their way in Australia to cope with the country's increasingly obese population.
Standards Australia, a nongovernment group that establishes safety and design standards, is considering recommending strengthening loos for larger users, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Obesity levels have been rising for years in Australia. Standards Australia spokeswoman Kate Evans said the current industry standard for toilet seats is just 100 pounds and that the group is looking to increase it to 330 pounds.
