The recall is for the Flushmate flushing systems manufactured in the United States from October 1997 to February 2008. It was sold at Home Dept and Lowe’s stores for about $108 and was also sold to toilet manufacturers including American Standard, Crane, Eljer, Gerber, Kohler, Mansfield and St. Thomas.
To determine if your flushing system is included in the recall, check the label on top of the system. The first six numbers of the serial number indicate the date code (the recall includes systems between “101497″ and “022908″).
