Approximately 453,000 Flushmate® III Series 503 Pressure-Assist Flushing Systems are being recalled because the internal vessel can burst at the weld seam. These systems are rectangular black plastic units installed inside toilet tanks. The company has received two reports of units bursting, resulting in property damage and one minor injury. Consumers should immediately stop using these systems, turn off the water supply, and contact Flushmate for a free repair kit.
The pressure-assist vessel can burst under pressure, causing the toilet tank lid to lift or the porcelain tank itself to shatter. This creates a serious risk of impact and laceration injuries to consumers as well as potential property damage.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Flushmate III systems, turn off the water supply to the units, flush the toilet to release the internal pressure and contact the firm to request a free repair kit.
