If you recently purchased a new bathroom or kitchen faucet on Amazon, we recommend checking your receipt. That’s because federal agencies are warning that some faucets made in China could leach into the water.
Jewelry toys remind you of the presence of liquid resins that can irritate your skin and eyes
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission announced this week a recall of about 200,000 gem-making toys due to the presence of dangerous resin materials.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned that several models of Chinese-made faucets sold on Amazon can leach lead into the water.
CPSC issued several warnings on Wednesday, May 14th about certain bathroom and kitchen faucets sold on Amazon. Lead consumption and exposure can be harmful to infants, infants, and pregnant women.
These are faucets, all made by Chinese companies, sold on Amazon, and covered with CSPC warnings.
The CSPC has discovered the faucet as part of a “enforcement sweep targeting dangerous faucets manufactured in China,” authorities said in a warning. The Chinese company was contacted to issuing a recall, but no one agreed, according to the CSPC.
The agent did not detail the amount of faucets sold.
Additional companies will face enforcement action against more companies “in the coming days.” CPSC said.
“The CPSC is taking extraordinary steps to protect Americans from the toxic faucets that threaten our children,” CPSC Acting Chairman Peter Feldman said in a statement accompanied by the warning. “This committee will not hesitate to warn Americans when necessary. The CPSC focuses on dangerous goods from China, the biggest threat to American consumers.”
Faucet with the risk of lead: What if you have
According to the CPSC, consumers must stop using the next faucet: This is because it was found to contain lead, which can be leached into the water at levels particularly harmful to infants, young children and pregnant women.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, brain development is the most severe during brain development. High levels of lead exposure in the uterus, infancy, and infancy can lead to learning disabilities, behavioral difficulties, and lower IQ.
If you need to use these faucets until you can replace them, drink water or run the water for 15 seconds before using them for cooking.
CPSC is asking consumers to report incidents that include injuries or product defects at www.saferproducts.gov.
