My wife bought a display toilet from Lowes..the lid was sealed for safety purpose. How do I unseal the lid without breaking it?

Never heard of such a thing. What's it sealed with? Sure it isn't just a screw run through the seat into the lid?

Can you post a picture of it?

No, it's sealed around the edge. Home improvement centers do this while toilets on on display and setting at an angle above our heads

That makes me think that it is glued together, if so, you are not going to get it apart..

Ask the plumbing department guy at Lowes what they used. The toilets don't come that way and they should be selling a product ready to "go." You are saying lid so we should not be thinking seat, you mean the tank lid, right? It must ge glued.

Thanks Bob. Now where in the &*% did I get toilet seat.

You cannot recognize by looking at it what substance was used ?

Best you can do: buy new seat. You can get new plastic seat for $6.00. No sweat ...

Milo, I am fairly certain this is the tank lid, not the seat. I have seen how Lowes displays their toilets and they must glue the tank lids but the seats would not have any additional attachments.

Assuming we are talking about tank lid,only thing I can imagine is silicone, don't how you could get it off unless you could cut with utility knife.
