Product Information

Full Description:

The recalled shower doors include the Kohler Helios and Sterling Freestyle models made from January 1997 through September 2001. The hinges on the Helios and Freestyle models operate in a unique way, which allows the doors to swing back and forth. The door panels can retract side to side without the use of anchored track guides, common to many shower doors. The shower doors were distributed for shower enclosure and bathtub applications in both single and double door configurations, in a variety of sizes. They were sold in chrome, brass and white frame finishes, and with a variety of glass treatments.
