Exploding toilets prompt recall, lawsuit
http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-exploding-toilets-prompt-recall-lawsuit-20120815,0,1238187.story
The United States is recalling millions of faulty flushing mechanisms that have caused toilets to explode, creating “laceration risks†for toilet users.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the warning about the Flushmate III Pressure-Assisted Flushing System, which was sold at Home Depot and Lowe’s stores and to toilet manufacturers American Standard, Crane, Kohler, Eljer, Mansfield, St. Thomas and Gerber.
The recall applies to devices manufactured between 1997 and 2008 -- about 2.3 million in the United States and 9,000 in Canada.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said Flushmate has received 304 reports of the product bursting, with 14 “impact or laceration injuries.â€

"Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the varsity swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode."

Funny how their thoughts go to a movie about a DUmmie-like frat house instead of an incompetent government that cannot even design toilets properly.
