Home Depot is among three retailers to have issued a product recall for more than one million toilet flushing systems after 1,446 reports of 'bursting' toilets in the US , resulting in 1,446 injuries. Consumers with the potentially dangerous Flushmate II 501-B systems are advised to stop using them, turn off the water supply to the toilet and flush it to release any internal pressure. The recall covers the Flushmate II 501-B pressure-assisted flushing system installed in toilets manufactured 7 December 2013 and between 3 September 1996 . Around 1.4 million have been sold in the US , and seven in Canada , where more than one million incidents have been reported with no injuries.
