Kimberly-Clark Obtains Patent for Artificial Feces
The company makes among other things diapers, baby wipes, and training
pants. Material for testing these products adequately has until now been
a problem, both in obtaining a reliable supply from infants and in
overcoming the repugnance of the laboratory technicians (the job
description must be something). Patent 5356626 was granted to a pair of
researchers who developed a synthetic substitute that is free of odor
and capable of being tinted any color; the company has selected brown
for the product so far. Apparently they do not intend to market it, for
novelty gifts or any other purpose.
