Shattering Shower Doors

    Do you have a glass shower door? Imagine it exploding in the middle of the night or worse, while you’re taking a shower.

    It turns out glass shower doors are exploding all over the country all the time. There are cases reported all over the internet, including YouTube where consumers record the mess left behind. Sometimes it happens while you’re in the shower, other times while you’re lucky enough to be far away. “As we were waking up we heard this massive boom. You know, sort of like an earthquake,” Kevin Kavianian tells KGO-TV in San Diego.
    The shower door explosions seem to cross several makes and brands. While no one has positively determined a cause, it appears related to slight cracks and faults in the glass that eventually break down the whole pane.

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission has many complaints from consumers and KGO reports that regulators estimate more than twenty five hundred people were treated for injuries related to shattering shower doors between 2010 and 2012.
