Stop using these kitchen faucets now, feds warn: Lead contamination possible

A brand of kitchen faucets sold on Amazon are being recalled due to possible lead contamination.

According to a notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recalled faucets were tested and found to contain lead that can leach into water at levels that can be particularly harmful to infants and young children.

The faucets were also found to leach other contaminants.

This recall involves VFAUOSIT kitchen faucets, model number 06BNV. The faucets are brushed nickel, single-handle kitchen faucets with a pull-down detachable spray and single-hole installation.

Consumers who are trying to figure out whether they own a recalled faucet can search their Amazon purchase history for “Vfauosit” and “kitchen faucet.” The CPSC says consumers should look for a description that has terms including a pull-down sprayer, brushed nickel, stainless steel modern, high-arc, single-handle, single-hole, pull-out kitchen faucet for bar laundry, RV, (and) utility sink.

The faucets were sold online at www.amazon.com from January 2024 through May 2025 for about $40.

Consumers should immediately stop using these faucets and contact the manufacturer Whisper08 about disposal and a refund. Consumers will need to provide a photograph of the faucet and their order number to receive the refund. Whisper08 is contacting all known purchasers directly, according to the CPSC.

If the faucets cannot be replaced right away, consumers should only consume water from the faucets after running the water for 15 seconds.
