The company’s comments, in its own words

(4/22/2013) Masco Bath Corporation : The consumer in this case reports that an American Shower and Bath model tempered glass shower enclosure spontaneous shattered although apparently no one was in the bathroom when this happened. No one reportedly was injured. It is important to note that the incident was not reported to Masco Bath and so Masco Bath has not had the opportunity to learn more about the incident. Nothing is known as to the model of shower enclosure, its age, its history of use, or whether it might have been damaged in some way prior to the incident. Presumably the shower enclosure was made of tempered glass (all shower enclosures made by Masco Bath are made using tempered glass), and as such, if it is true that this was a Masco Bath product, and if true that it shattered as reported, we would expect that it would have broken into small, non-dangerous pieces (as tempered glass is designed to do). It also should be noted that Masco Bath has sold thousands of glass shower enclosures and does not recall ever before receiving a report of glass shattering. Without further inspection, it is not possible to determine what might have led to the reported product failure. Masco Bath recently was able to contact this customer and make arrangements for an inspection. Until we complete an inspection, we are unable to speculate as to what was the cause of the problem. However, given the lack of prior incidents, and given the fact this product was made using tempered glass, Masco Bath is confident the product in this case did not present a product safety hazard.
