Civil servants have been warned of the dangers of flying toilet roll holders - and instructed to suppress their laughter.
A memo was circulated to staff at the Department for Education's headquarters in Sheffield following reports of empty dispensers springing open and catching unsuspecting lavatory users on the head.
Health and safety chiefs swung into action, dispatching a letter which alerted staff to the hazard and pledged to install less dangerous equipment "at the earliest convenience".
In the meantime, Government public servants have been solemnly advised in the memo to "take care" when braving the cubicles.
Anticipating the reaction of staff, the memo added: "I know many of you will think this is humorous, but it is a serious issue."
