What Consumers Should Do

CPSC strongly recommends the following:

• Stop using the listed faucets immediately.
• Dispose of them properly.
• If you must continue using one temporarily, let cold water run for at least 15 seconds before drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth.

Additional Recommendations

To reduce the risk of lead exposure from any faucet:

• Choose faucets that meet NSF/ANSI Standard 61, which ensures limits on lead and other contaminants.
• Run water for 15 seconds each morning, in the evening, or after periods of disuse.
• Use only cold water for cooking, drinking, or preparing infant formula. Boiling does not eliminate lead.
• Clean or replace faucet aerators regularly to clear out trapped particles.
• Contact your water provider or local health department for water testing, or visit epa.gov/safewater for more information.
