Toto Ltd., known for its high-tech toilets with bidets that have blow-drying, air purification and seat-warming functions, apologized to consumers and offered free checks and repairs after some of its toilets with bidets and heated seats sent up smoke and three caught fire.
“We apologize deeply for the trouble we have caused to our customers,” the company said in a statement.
Toto said no people were injured as a result of the problems and damage was limited to a small part of the toilet tank.
This explains those tales of spontaneous human combustion.
