2 Million Flushmate Toilet Systems Recalled Because of Explosions

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling more than 2 million Flushmate systems that are meant to make flushing easier, but can burst and send the toilet lid — and everything else in your toilet — flying.
The Flushmate III Pressure-Assist Flushing System, installed inside the toilet tank, can burst at or near the vessel weld seam, releasing stored pressure that can shatter the tank and lacerate consumers. So far, Flushmate has received 304 reports of explosions causing property damage and 14 reports of impact or laceration injuries.
If you own a Flushmate, immediately turn off the water supply to the unit and stop using the system.
"...shatter the tank and lacerate consumers"? More like eviscerate consumers. Masculinity gone.
