 More bursting toilets recalled
Author: vic (CA)

From USA TODAY

"Parts that can cause bursting toilets recalled
WASHINGTON — Watch out for exploding toilets. Flushmate, the maker of a high-pressure flushing system sold at Home Depot and Lowe's, is expanding its recall of the parts, because they can burst near a seam with force enough to shatter the toilet tank. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says Thursday that the company is recalling 351,000 units in the U.S. and about 9,400 units in Canada of the Series 503 Flushmate 111 Pressure Assist flushing systems installed inside toilet tanks that were made from March 2008 through June 2009. There were no reports of injuries, but Flushmate has received three reports of the units included in the recall bursting, resulting in property damage."
