TOKYO, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Japan's KYB Corp 7242.T , a maker
of devices that reduce shaking during earthquakes, confirmed on
Friday that its products that failed to meet standards required
by the government or customers had been used in 28 buildings.
KYB said this week it had falsified data on the quality of
some of its shock absorbers since at least 2003, and said more
than 900 structures around Japan - one of the world's most
quake-prone nations - had used products that could have been
affected. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL3N1WY2OZ
