Toto Bidets Giving Hot-Seat

I saw a news report that Toto is recalling over 100,000 electric bidet units because they can start a fire. That's taking the idea of a warm wash-and-dry to an extreme.

Now, there is another thread for this hot seat problem, lol.
It is also, under Toilets.

For those who don't like their buns toasted...

About four people have posted this story so far about bidet seats in Japan.

We don't see those models mentioned in the article here in the US.

Our electrical is very different so they have "export" models that work to US standards.
They don't export their homeland versions to us.

Depends on who is sitting on it.
