US Edition3 kitchen faucets sold on Amazon recalled for lead concerns
- Three kitchen faucet brands marketed on Amazon were withdrawn from sale on Thursday by the federal agency responsible for product safety due to risks associated with lead exposure.
- Testing revealed faucets from VFAUOSIT, KICIMPRO, and BASDEHEN contained lead that could leach into water and harm infants and young children.
- The recall involves more than 100,000 faucets distributed across the U.S., with the VFAUOSIT and BASDEHEN brands additionally identified as containing other harmful contaminants.
- CPSC advised consumers to stop use immediately, contact sellers for refunds, and run water for 15 seconds before use, stating "only drink water after running for 15 seconds."
- The recall is intended to protect young children from neurological damage caused by lead exposure, which can affect brain development and result in issues such as reduced cognitive abilities and behavioral difficulties related to focus.
