US EditionCPSC: Chinese-Made Faucets May Leach Lead Into Drinking Water
- On May 14, 2025, a federal safety agency issued a warning about certain faucets sold on Amazon that may release lead into drinking water.
- This warning followed a CPSC enforcement sweep targeting four Chinese-manufactured faucet brands that lacked safety certifications and recall agreements.
- The water faucets identified as a concern, including those from CEINOL, KZH, Rainsworth, and VESLA HOME, were often sold without clear branding or manufacturer labels and were available on Amazon for prices ranging from $30 to $70.
- CPSC Acting Chairman Peter Feldman emphasized the agency's commitment to alerting the public when needed, while advising consumers to cease use of the faucets immediately and to run the water for 15 seconds before use if replacement is not yet possible.
- The CPSC recommends removing these faucets immediately and selecting only faucets meeting NSF/ANSI Standard 61 to prevent harmful neurological effects from lead exposure.
