More than 100,000 kitchen faucets have been recalled because they could lead to dangerous levels of lead exposure according to three separate notices posted Thursday by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Three different faucets models, manufactured in China and sold under the brands Vfauosit, Kicimpro and Basdehen, were determined unsafe after tests revealed they contain lead that could leak into the water supply and cause harm to young infants and children. No injuries have been reported thus far.
Main Idea: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled more than 100,000 kitchen faucets sold on Amazon because they may expose people to unsafe lead levels.
Key Points:
Recalled Amazon faucets may expose families to lead, which can harm infants and children and create cleanup and replacement costs for households.
CPSC recall warnings and vendor refunds may help consumers find unsafe faucets faster and avoid further exposure.
