I wouldn't look at a company with a name like that! I wonder they are allowed to use it.
It does tend to have a vulgar sound but it's actually a euphemism, named after the plumber who invented the U-bend in lavatories:
Thomas Crapper was a businessman and plumber. He founded Thomas Crapper & Co in London, a sanitary equipment company. Crapper held nine patents, three of them for water closet improvements such as the floating ballcock. He improved the S-bend plumbing trap in 1880 by inventing the U-bend. The company owned the world's first bath, toilet and sink showroom in King's Road. Crapper was noted for the quality of his products and received several royal warrants.
If you think that's a load of, well crap, look at the manhole covers in Westminster Abbey that have become one of London's minor tourist attractions. They have Crapper's company's name on them.
