ELJER GERBER CRANE PLUMBING 2,330,600 UNITS RESALLED RECALLED IN AM ERICA Three Hundred and Four 304 ACTUAL EXPLO SIONS Fourteen 4 PEOPLE INJUR ED OR LA CERAT ED * ACTUAL VICTIM TE STIMONIAL ★ Had it been my grandmother or one of my nieces and nephews who happened to use the toilet that day, the consequences could have been severe. I required dozens of stitches for an extremely deep wound because of the exploding porcelain. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? Toilets are exploding because of a flush assist system, by Flushmate, installed in the toilet's tank. The Flushmate was designed to save water and actually pushes the water down the drain instead of "pulling" like a normal gravity toilet. 1. Water flows to the vessel. 2. Air is compressed, vessel is ready to flush. 3. Air pressure empties the tank. The problem can occur when the pressure becomes so great that the unit BUKSTS. The unit usually bursts at or near the weld seam, releasing stored pressure, which can shatter the tank.
