Your toilet could be a ticking time bomb. A problem with flushing mechanisms that causes toilets to explode has prompted a recall of 2.3 million toilets in the U.S. and 9,400 in Canada.
There have already been 304 complaints of exploding devices bursting, causing 14 "impact or laceration injuries," according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (http://www.cpsc.gov/CPSCPUB/PREREL/prhtml12/12201.html).
Flushmate, the company that installed the faulty flusher, has established a website (http://flushmate.com/recall/) for customers to enter the serial number of their toilets to find out if they need to replace their toilet. They can also receive a repair kit.
