Exploding Toilet Flushing Systems Recalled
(Franklin Park, IL) – Nearly one and half million toilet flushing systems are being recalled. The systems, made by Flushmate, have reportedly exploded and injured 23 people so far. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that the systems can burst at or near the weld seam and that releases stored pressure. That, in turn, can lift the tank lid and shatter the tank. So far Flushmate has received 1,450 reports of these explosions. One of the people injured by the system required foot surgery.
