Amazon Caught Selling Kitchen Faucets That Leach Lead Directly Into Your Water
In the past few months, Amazon has been caught selling facial recognition tech to police departments, AI-generated books on managing ADHD, rice contaminated with arsenic and other "heavy metals," and concentrated sodium nitrate that led to the death of a 15-year-old boy. Now, the mega retailer has been caught merchandising untold thousands of kitchen faucets lined with lead, an enormously dangerous heavy metal. Three separate recalls posted by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) advise customers who bought faucets from Amazon sellers Whisper08, Kicimpro, and ChenFeng to stop using the products and seek a refund immediately. The faucets seem to trace back to a home goods manufacturer in Guangdong Province, China, according to information given by the CPSC. Altogether, the recall effects over 100,000 faucets sold between January 2024 and May 2025. Lead is a toxic metal that can have horrific impacts on human health. It's especially dangerous in children and pregnant or soon-to-be-pregnant women. The World Health Organization notes that there is "no level of exposure to lead that is known to be without harmful effects," and that exposure is "entirely preventable." In the past, Amazon was legally allowed to skirt responsibility for selling dangerous items through its site, even ones listed by third-party retailers via the company's "Fulfilled by Amazon" (FBA) service. That all changed last year, when the CPSC issued a unanimous decision holding Amazon responsible for product recalls and notices. Even if Amazon doesn't technically make or sell the product, the CPSC ruled that FBA nonetheless makes the sale possible, ultimately placing liability on Amazon. That decision retroactively made Amazon legally responsible for over 40,000 incredibly dangerous items it profited off over the years. According to the CPSC, these include disturbing products like flammable children's pajamas, hairdryers lacking electrocution safeguards, and busted carbon monoxide detectors. Presumably, it also includes items like the infamous male-to-male extension cord — also known as a suicide cord — which became a minor internet sensation when netizens discovered them listed on Amazon back in 2022. The suicide cord hysteria eventually became so bad that the CPSC issued a statement clarifying that you should seriously never, ever, buy one for any reason. Ever. Still, it's important to note that these measures are reactive, and don't address products prior to being listed. Amazon is still not required to test FBA products for lead or other hazards — only take them down after the dangers are reported. Basically, when it comes to home improvement, you're better off buying your stuff from virtually anywhere else. More on Amazon: Director of ICE Says Deportations Should Operate More Like Amazon Prime

Sausages, power banks, cars, and more: 7 products recalled in US — Here's why
Product safety can often tamper with consumer health due to contamination, design flaws, or labeling errors. Recalls can be a way to ensure consumer safety by returning such products to their place of purchase or stopping their consumption by removing them. Here is a list of 7 products that were recalled in the week of May 19 to May 25. Cucumber produced by Bedner Growers tested positive for salmonella by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Store-made deli items affected by this such as the 'Salad Greek Authentic FS' with a sell-by date of May 23-24, 'Readymade Salad Greek SS' with a sell-by date of May 20-24, and 'Salad Greek FS' with a sell-by date of May 20-24 reported 29307000000, 29248300000 and 29232900000 levels of UPC respectively.

Those who have bought these products are advised to either throw away the contaminated items or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. CONTACT POC: Albertsons Companies' Customer Service Center CONTACT NUMBER: 1-877-723-3929 TIME AND DATE: Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PT According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) official website, the DTR Plush Bag Stitch and the DTR Plush Bag Angel have been recalled by Primark due to 'choking and ingestion hazards'. 'The zipper pull on the back of the plush bags can detach, posing a risk of serious injury or death from choking and/or ingestion of the zipper pull,' the website says. The product was sold at stores in the Northeast, Florida, Maryland, and Illinois from March to October 2024.

CONTACT NUMBER: (617) 946-3236 93,000 units of the KT-D007 power banks made by Yiisonger have been recalled by the CPSC due to risks of overheating which poses a threat of fire and burns. The batteries were sold on Amazon from April 2022 to February 2025 in the price range of $22 to $40. About 79 incidents of the power unit exploding, igniting, and swelling have been reported by the CPSC, with a $15 million loss in property damages being logged in one case. Those who have bought these products are advised to throw them away in a local household hazardous waste center instead of ordinary trash cans. 443,000 units of Toyota Tundra have reported reverse lights as not functioning due to the collection of moisture in the units that leads the wires to corrode. A lack of indication while backing up the car can lead to serious road injuries. Owners whose car models fall under the category will be notified by the company starting in July. In the meantime, you can try reaching out to your local dealer to establish whether your car will fit the bill. Both reverse light units at the back of the car will be reversed for those aggrieved and wires will be checked for corrosion, free of charge. The US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for 'retail ground beef products sold by Bismillah Halal Meats, a retail market in Marietta, Ga., that may be contaminated with E. coli O103'. A recall, however, was not requested since the products are no longer available for purchase. Products bought by consumers between April 10-23, 2025 fall under this category. 'The problem was discovered when a sample was collected and analyzed by FSIS during retail surveillance and the sampling results showed the presence of E. coli O103. There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of these products,' the website states. Those who have bought these products are advised to either throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
