Flushmate® III Pressure-Assist Flushing System
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Flushmate is recalling Series 503 Flushmate III Pressure Assist flushing systems that were manufactured between October 1997 and February 2008. These systems, which are installed inside toilet tanks and made of black injection-molded plastic, can burst at or near the vessel weld seam. When this occurs, the stored pressure can lift the tank lid and shatter the tank, creating a hazard of impact injuries or cuts and potentially damaging property.
If you have a Flushmate III system, you should immediately turn off the water supply to the unit and stop using it. To determine whether your system is affected, contact Flushmate with your serial number, which is a 16-character code located on the label on top of the unit. The first six numerals of the serial number indicate the manufacturing date. If your system is recalled, Flushmate will provide a free repair kit.
