At 4 pm 9/28/17, we had a Sloan Flushmate Model M-101526-F3 Series 503 toilet explode. There was no one in the room and the water was turned off before considerable damage could take place however, the explosion did have a significant amount of force. The porcelain and tank were shattered. This is very concerning and could of caused great damage to an unexpected patron. This event happen in a medical office building owned by Tahoe Forest Hospital.

AFlushmate Flushometer - Tank System, which is a pressurized tank that resides within the toilet, exploded and severely cut my back. A simple internet search shows this has happened to dozens of people. Had it been my grandmother our one of my nieces and nephews who happened to use the toilet that day, the consequences could have been severe. I required dozens of stitches for an extremely deep wound because of the exploding porcelain. Upon reviewing the Flushmate.com website, there was a small advisory (not a recall) effecting limited quantities of the unit, but considering my flushmate separated in the same manner as the advisory notice mentioned, I feel the issue is larger than the company is letting on. Because I am a bigger person, I was able to absorb the brunt of the force. Again, had this happened to someone elderly or a child, the outcome could have been catastrophic. There needs to be a larger awareness camaign as we had no idea of the danger involved in using the Flushmate product. I can send pictures of the dammage and my wound.

- On the morning of Tuesday September the 8th 2020, the [REDACTED] toilet that contained a Pressure Assist Flushmate series 503 Sloan power flush Exploded shattering both the Water Tank and Tank Lid propelling shards throughout the bathroom with pieces impacting and cutting my wife's foot and leg and a large chunk of the Lid clubbing her in the forehead above her Right eye resulting in a nasty goose-egg swelling with associated impact pain from this blunt force trauma injury. One of the large pieces of debris found on the floor was a smooth rounded corner of the Lid which is likely what hit her on the head as there was no external bleeding. Although the pain persisted for days the swelling gradually reduced (leaving a dent in her forehead) and purple and green colors advanced down her forehead and between her eyes. Sudden loud noises would cause her to jump and her heart to race. - It was only after this incident that I was prompted to research this type of product failure and found that the 501, 502, and 503 series Flushmates' ALL had reported cases of catastrophic failures that destroyed the toilet, caused damage to the home, and exposed the occupants to injury - some who sustained serious wounds. Had I been informed of the known risks of the past 501 and 502 series I never would have purchased 1 [REDACTED] and 1 [REDACTED] toilet with the 503 PA for use in our home. The [REDACTED] toilet that exploded was the newer of the 2. I immediately stopped using both toilets and had them replaced with conventional gravity flush toilets. - During the same time I originally had these toilets installed in my home I also designed a commercial building for the company I worked for ([REDACTED]) and had 8 toilets with the Sloan PA installed. [REDACTED] is now assessing what corrective action is needed since they have been informed they are putting their employees in harms way of random explosion at any time.

ATTN: Regarding Medical Equipment Safety Issue September 18, 2024, Amazon.com order # [REDACTED] September 20, 2024, Amazon.com order # [REDACTED] Amazon Fulfillment Seller: [REDACTED] Dear Consumer Product Safety Commission Officer, On September 18, 2024, I purchased an "FSA/HSA Eligible Toilet Safety Rails, Adjustable Toilet Safety Frame for Elderly, Seniors, Handicap & Disabled, Toilet Frame with Handles, Foldable Handicap Toilet Rails Fit Any Toilets (300 LB)" on Amazon.com. The product included a hardware bag of bolts and brackets, and it did include mission-critical pieces to make it safe. I have no complaints. On September 20, 2024, I purchased the "FSA/HSA Eligible Toilet Safety Rails, Adjustable Toilet Safety Frame for Elderly, Seniors, Handicap & Disabled, Toilet Frame with Handles, Foldable Handicap Toilet Rails Fit Any Toilets (300 LB)" product. It did not include a hardware bag of bolts, brackets, and mission-critical pieces to make the product safe. This could cause it to collapse and injure, or even cause death, especially for an elderly person using the product. After reviewing 1-star ratings today September 23rd, 2024 if have concluded that the MISSING bag of mission crital hardwear parts is a SYSTEMIC issue with this medical equipment based on reviews of peer being injured and product being "unstable and wobbly". After further review of Amazon's "product review guidelines," I have become aware of a MAJOR problem with Amazon's policy regarding reviews not showing that they have received a coupon or discounted price. Because I clicked a 5% coupon at checkout, I am held to a review policy whereby my 1-star SAFETY review doesn't post/show unless the vendor approves "product review." Your agency and the Attorney General of every State in the United States and abroad must address this issue. This Amazon policy is illegal. In light of these concerns, I urge the Consumer Product

While away for a few weeks, our toilet began to constantly run and then eventually overflow. This toilet was in our second floor bathroom and ran into the hallway, bedrooms, and soaked right thru the floor. Eventually the floor caved and we now have extensive damage on the main floor as well. Living room ceiling, walls, floors, furniture, and molding.

I have a Flushmate toilet system, Model No. M-101526-F3, Serial No. 031507-F3K1-1772, Series No. 503. It came with the condo that I purchased in November of 2013. It worked well until last night. After I flushed, the system made a really loud sound. I took off the lid of the tank and slightly pressed the circular part on the top of the system that looks like a wheel which seemed to release the pressure. I'm trying to either have the thing fixed or, if it is defective and the subject of a recall, I need to have it removed. I am an 81 year widow and have no idea how to remedy this situation. Please contact me at [REDACTED]. I am concerned after reading what might happen if this product is defective and might explode. Thank you. [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]

On the morning of 8/9/2025, report creator was using the restroom when he leaned back on his toilet seat and the quick release hinges holding the toilet seat down failed. The force slid the toilet seat rapidly forward creating an open space where the report writers penis was smashed between the toilet seat and the toilet. He suffered a contusion on his glans penis and mild bleeding.

I went to flush my new toilet, and grabbed the handle in a way that tore skin from my hand. I've never ever had this happen before.
