My dad's house had one of these. Sounded like a jet airplane when you hit the handle.

Put that together with an explosion due to hot food you ate...

Those toilets have some serious power, they can handle very big jobs. I could envision a blow up.

My high school had those. I thought a funny senior prank would be flush every toilet in the school at once. I am not sure if anything would actually happen or not but to this day I am still curious.

NO E36 M3!
I followed the links and submitted my serial numbers. Sure, enough, both of the hi-flush units in my house are on the recall list.
The answer is that they are shipping out an external, in-line pressure regulator.

Bah! I'd be much more interested in videos of the toilets blowing up.
