        "text": "Towel bars are held in place by small set screws and light drywall anchors designed only to hold a few pounds of fabric. If someone slips and grabs a towel bar, it will easily pull away from the wall, causing serious injury. Grab bars feature heavy-gauge metal construction, secure flange plates, and structural lag screws that tie directly into wall framing or rated solid-mount anchors to support sudden, heavy downward loads.",
