 Toyo Tire & Rubber Co has been instructed by the government to replace all the company’s rubber building materials that have been found not to meet the country’s isolation criteria, reported  the Japan News.

The quality certification for Toyo Tire & Rubber Co’s high dumping rubber, a seismic isolation architectural material, was revoked by Japan’s Land Ministry after the company falsified product performance data.

According to the report, a total of 2,052 units of the company’s high-damping rubber materials used in 55 buildings in 18 prefectures across the country have been found substandard.

Toyo Tire & Rubber has been asked to report the results of its structural safety checks of the 55 building by the end of March. The report further said that the company would replace  the materials if requested by owners of affected buildings, regardless of the results of its safety checks.
