Cuckoo purifiers’ toxic substance at permitted levels

June 16, 2016 - 18:32 By Korea Herald
[THE INVESTOR] Cuckoo Electronics on June 16 said the filters of its purifiers were safe to use after reports showed them using a toxic substance called octylisothiazolinone.

Cuckoo said it used one-tenth of government permitted levels to strengthen the filters against viruses and bacteria.

However, Cuckoo said it would replace the filters with those that did not use the substance, free of charge, to those who would like a replacement. 

Cuckoo‘s comments come amid a nationwide uproar over toxic humidifier sterilizers that had caused several deaths in South Korea.

Cuckoo Electronics’ share prices closed 3.57 percent lower at 162,000 won.
