Saw this in the online LA Times today (7/21/12):
*******************************************
Some HETs use "pressure assist" technologies, in which a pressurized air tank helps push water down the drain. But those systems suffered a setback late last month, when the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of the Flushmate III Pressure-Assisted flushing system after reports of tank lids shattering. The Michigan company received 304 reports of the units in toilets bursting, resulting in property damage and 14 impact or laceration injuries.
*******************************************
Bet you didn't know you might be taking your life in your hands the next time you use your pressure-assist toilet!
