"The toilet was a Flushmate III, a bran that is the subject of a voluntary recall issued two years"
Surely they meant to say "Brand"

@poker - Given the topic, maybe not.

The Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Flushvalves needs to do a better job of testing these things.

I blew up the bathroom last night, but that was more of a gas attack than high explosive.

It's just a matter of time before the attorneys' ads start showing up on television: "If you or a loved one relieved yourself in a Flushmate III toilet, you may be entitled to compensation..."

Oh my.
I guess I owe Taco Bell an apology for that one.

Oh, how I've missed your exploding toilet stories. I'll bet it was lo-flow, too.

@Diva "I'll bet it was lo-flow, too."
Pressure assisted toilets are intended to compensate for the low flow. I don't know if it was this particular brand, but there was an article about these a while back in the Tampa Tribune. These store water at full line pressure in a sealed tank with an air cushion, and then flush with a loud roar. Money quote: "This thing will flush a cat."
