On the evening of April 17, 2013, Oscar Anthony Mito became yet another victim of a slippery bathroom, which is silently leaving its victims paralysed. Or dead. “My family is one of the reasons I am still alive. Their care and support since that incident has been of great encouragement for me,” he says. Thanks to quack contractors and poor quality or inappropriate ceramic tiles , bathrooms are increasingly turning into cubicles of death.
