We improve the lower bound on the translative covering density of tetrahedra found by Y. Li, M. Fu and Y. Zhang. Our method improves the bound from 1.00122 to 1.0075, but also shows the existence of similar lower density bounds for any polyhedron which has a face without opposite parallel face or edge.
