A year ago the toilet in Law Offices of...exploded. It happened over a weekend so no one was harmed. The force of the explosion left porcelain embedded in the wall across from the toilet. The water flowed for hours flooding the building.
The offending commode was a Sloan Flushmate III. They are now the subject of a recall. Seems it was not an isolated incident.
Each time Stan Auerbach sits on his toilet, he worries it might explode.“It’s a little scary,” said Auerbach, 78, of Garnet Valley, Pa. Auerbach has two toilets in his home, and they’re both outfitted with a powerful high-pressure Flushmate III system.
In June, the Flushmate III was declared a “laceration risk.” The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall notice for more than 2.3 million of the water-conservation devices after learning that 304 units had blown up. The explosions shattered the commodes, caused home flooding, and, in some cases, sent porcelain shrapnel flying.
Be careful out there! If you have a claim, you should call a lawyer.
A good one......
