Default Watchdog: Toilets recalled over explosions -- yes, explosions
This recall is the stuff of nightmares: You innocently flush the toilet and
it blows up on you, even injures you.

More than 2 million toilets have been recalled because they use a
"pressure-assisted flushing system" that builds up too much pressure and can
make the lid fly off and the tank shatter, according to Consumer Reports.
Fourteen people have been hurt.

All kinds of brands and models are included in the recall, including American
Standard, Crane, Eljer, Gerber, Kohler, Mansfield and St. Thomas. They were sold
at Home Depot and Lowe's, among other stores.

Want to see if your toilet is a possible bomb? Take the lid off the tank and
look at the label on top of the vessel. If the series number is 503 and the
first six digits of the serial number are within the range of 101497 to 022909,
you've got a bad one in your bathroom.

Flushmate expects you to fix it yourself with a kit they'll send you; call
1-800-303-5123 or go to flushmate.com/recall. And good luck to
you.

In the meantime, Consumer Reports says, turn off the water to the toilet and
flush it once. If you need to continue to use it before it gets fixed, flush it
by pouring two or three gallons of water into the bowl.
For more information on these and other recalled products, including
photographs, model numbers and descriptions of injuries caused by recalled
products, go to the Consumer Product Safety Commission website.

These were clearly false-flag events designed to scare the sheeple. When are you people going to wake up?
