Approximately 2.3 million Flushmate® III Pressure-Assist flushing systems are being recalled after more than 300 reports of the units bursting inside toilet tanks. These systems, found in brands like American Standard, Kohler, and Gerber, can suddenly release stored pressure at the weld seam, causing the porcelain toilet tank to shatter or the lid to be forcefully ejected. Flushmate has received reports of 14 injuries involving impact or cuts from broken porcelain. Consumers should immediately stop using these systems, turn off the water supply, and contact Flushmate for a free repair kit.
The pressurized plastic vessel can burst at the weld seam, causing the porcelain toilet tank to explode. This poses a significant risk of impact and severe laceration injuries from flying porcelain shards and the heavy tank lid.
Consumers should immediately turn off the water supply to the recalled Flushmate III unit and stop using the system. Consumers should contact the firm to determine if their Flushmate III serial number is included in the recall and to request a free repair kit.
