You don’t normally think of the bathroom as a dangerous place, but sometimes it can be. With water on the floor and in the shower it can be slippery, with appliances near water it can be an electrical hazard, and now even your toilet can be a true hazard.
A recall has been issued for Flushmate’s flush assist system which has been the reason for over300 toilet explosions. Since the unit has been installed by almost every major toilet manufacturer there is a good possibility your toilet is affected. Find out more below:

I had to read this, given the title of the blog. It shocked me. I’m glad they’re recalling.
This is so scary! I had no idea. I am checking my toliet now!
Wow I am glad I have my old Kohler… it is from the pre-water saving era. Exploding toilets are a very scary concept :/
This is one of the scariest things ever! I would have never even thought something like this could exist. Hubs will be checking all of ours as soon as he gets home.
omg! i’m checking now
My toilets are not fancy at all, basic and not water saving. Thank goodness.
My toilet is so old but this is crazy… Wonder if they were made in China. LOL!
OH. MY. GOD.
How scary.
Wow. One more thing to worry about, right? LOL.
Oh, Holy Crap – yes I said it. That is horrible. I will be checking today.
No idea. Off to check toilet.
