The Japanese did not expect such treachery, they are being "attacked" by smart toilets (5 photos)
Smart toilets have become obsolete en masse. Which leads to spontaneous combustion and burns while the Japanese are doing important things.
It's all in Japanese, a dangerous thing - it will burn you and not look back
There were 69 registered cases of injuries related to such toilets. 80% of accidents were related to toilets that were more than 10 years old. Electric toilet seats turned out to be the most dangerous. By the way, such toilets with heating and a smart system have become a symbol of Japan in the last ten years. Because they can be sold in many places, but only in Japan do they buy so many and so maniacally.
How a toilet can attack you
The most common injury due to a breakdown is quite serious burns from overheated seats on older models. If the toilet has a bidet, then the second most common type of injury is scalding with hot water, which “shot” from damaged blocks without a command.

The third type of danger is acrid smoke that began to come out of the toilet when the plastic parts overheated. Considering that toilets are usually small, a dangerous smoke chamber was formed, in which it became almost immediately impossible to breathe.
"All electrical appliances have their own service life. If you have used your electronic toilet daily for many years, you need to pay special attention to its serviceability," the government agency said in a statement.

Because in the worst case, a toilet without proper maintenance can lead to a fire in the apartment.
A story of great love
The first toilet seats with a built-in bidet were released in Japan in 1967. They literally instantly gained popularity in the country, because personal hygiene is considered of paramount importance here. By 2016, 80% of all homes and businesses in the country had a "smart toilet". And according to current estimates, it is now in almost every household.
There are no toilet ads like the ones in Japan!
Older models are simpler, but newer designs have sensors that automatically lift the lid when the user approaches. Another new feature is "oto-hime", which translates as "sound princess". This is when a recording of soothing sounds is turned on, such as running water, designed to mask any noise made by the user. The Japanese are very embarrassed that someone will hear them peeing.
Modern smart toilets allow users to change the strength, direction and temperature of the water directed at their butt, as well as regulate the flush force. In general, you won’t understand this without at least two courses at an engineering university.

And the Japanese also don’t understand that their super-fancy toilets break, and especially – where their weak points may be. And the wear and tear period is just now looming in many households.
Is Japan in for a great toilet renovation? Or will it be the nation with the highest percentage of people with buttock burns in the world?
