SALT LAKE CITY – Flushmate has recalled 2.3 million pressure-assisted flushing systems after several hundred reports of bursting systems.

The recalled product is the Flushmate III Pressure-Assist Flushing System. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a news release on Thursday that about 2.3 million units have been sold in the United States and 9,400 units have been sold in Canada.
