Product stops flushes

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. — Marketing firm Performance Marketing Communications has launched Flush-Stopper, a new product that helps ease the potty training burden by preventing automatic toilets from flushing “out of control” while being used by toddlers.

By using this device, which looks like a paddle-shaped piece of cardboard with adhesive on it, parents can put a stop to anxiety caused by the unpredictable nature of automatic-flush toilets.

Flush-Stopper is designed to be carried in a purse or diaper bag and comes with a reusable pouch. The product sells for $3.99 and is available at www.flush-stopper.com.
