Amazon has been implicated in multiple safety scandals, most recently for selling kitchen faucets containing lead, which can pose severe health risks. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced three recalls affecting over 100,000 faucets linked to manufacturers in Guangdong Province, China. This incident follows a pivotal CPSC ruling which made Amazon accountable for product recalls even for third-party vendors under its Fulfilled by Amazon service. This shift has retroactively held the company liable for thousands of dangerous items over the years, including flammable children's pajamas and unsafe hairdryers.
Amazon has recently faced various controversies, including selling hazardous kitchen faucets containing lead, which poses serious health risks, particularly to children and pregnant women.
The recall affects over 100,000 faucets sold between January 2024 and May 2025, highlighting Amazon's shift in liability after the CPSC's decision on FBA sales.
