A crappy malfunction

One of the times you never want to deal with a wiring malfunction is when you're sitting on your toilet, but for almost thirty users of Toto's Z-Series bowls, that's exactly what happened. An electric bidet accessory apparently caused three toilets to catch fire, while 26 more emitted smoke due to a wiring mishap. Luckily, all the products were promptly recalled. Stick to toilet paper, ok?
