The collapse of toilets in Glasgow.

Source

Department of Accident and Emergency, Western Infirmary, Glasgow.

Abstract

Three cases are presented of porcelain lavatory pans collapsing under body weight, producing wounds which required hospital treatment. Excessive age of the toilets was implicated as a causative factor. As many toilets get older episodes of collapse may become more common, resulting in further injuries.
