A report by Japan's National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE) showed that nearly 80% of incidents involving electronic bidets over the past decade, including fires, involved products that were more than 10 years old, prompting the agency to recommend that users conduct regular safety checks.

Of the 69 reports of damage and injuries received by NITE, which assesses product safety and quality standards, 54, or 78%, involved products manufactured 10 years or more before the incident.

While electronic bidets are often used for extended periods of time, NITE stresses that they have a limited lifespan. The agency also advises consumers to immediately turn off the water, unplug the appliance and consult the retailer or manufacturer if they notice leaks, a burning smell, abnormal overheating or cracks in the control panel.
