Broken pedal 2 times

Very nice and convenient ... until the pedal broke in two! The first lasted 3 months, the second two months ...
The problem? The strength of the plastic is not expected to resist friction with the trash bag for example. To open and close so empty, as expo store :)

Some find that a garbage can 40 it's cheap ... For a bin, I find it a lot. Especially since everything is plastic

Modified in December 2012:
After several emails and several months of battle, the company Rotho sent me a new bin. The problem is well known and recognized at home, even if it's too late!
