** Lead Alert! **

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using KZH brand bathroom faucets sold on Amazon.com. The faucets were tested and found to contain lead that can leach into water at levels that can be particularly harmful to young children. The faucets were also found to leach other contaminants. 

Lead ingestion can cause harmful neurological effects on young children, including attention-related behavioral problems, decreased cognitive performance, and lower IQ. The Commission has found that the public health and safety require this notice to warn the public quickly of the hazard.

The faucets are sold by Ruianshi Yajieweiyujiejuyouxiangongsi, located in China, on Amazon.com for approximately $40 under Amazon seller name Yajie Sanitaryware.

Ruianshi Yajieweiyujiejuyouxiangongsi has not agreed to an acceptable recall.

CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using and dispose of these faucets. Until these faucets can be replaced, consumers should only consume water from the faucets after running the water for 15 seconds.
