Approximately 351,000 Series 503 Flushmate III Pressure-Assist flushing systems are being recalled because the internal vessel can burst at or near its weld seam. This release of stored pressure is powerful enough to lift the toilet tank lid and shatter the ceramic tank, which has resulted in three reports of property damage. These rectangular black plastic units were sold individually and installed in toilets from brands including American Standard, Kohler, and Mansfield between 2008 and 2009. Consumers should stop using the recalled systems and contact the manufacturer for a free repair kit.
The pressurized system can suddenly burst, causing the toilet tank to shatter into sharp ceramic fragments. This creates a high risk of impact and laceration injuries to anyone nearby, as well as significant property damage.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Flushmate III system, turn off the water supply to the unit, flush the toilet to release the internal pressure and contact the firm to request a free repair kit.
