US EditionCPSC warns of lead in certain Chinese-made faucets, tells consumers to stop use
- On May 14, 2025, a federal safety agency issued a warning against using four specific brands of faucets made in China and sold on Amazon.com, due to concerns that they may release lead into drinking water.
- The warning followed a CPSC enforcement sweep that found the faucets, from CEINOL, KZH, Rainsworth, and VESLA HOME, lacked safety certifications and may leach harmful lead.
- The CPSC advised consumers to stop using and remove these faucets immediately since manufacturers have not agreed to recall them, and to run water for at least 15 seconds if use must continue.
- CPSC Acting Chairman Peter Feldman emphasized that lead contamination from certain faucets can cause serious neurological effects in infants, children, and pregnant women, such as reduced mental abilities, lower intelligence scores, and behavioral difficulties. The agency is implementing strong measures to safeguard public health.
- The CPSC recommended using faucets that meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61, which limits lead and hazardous substances, and signaled further enforcement actions against unsafe imports are forthcoming.
