A fifth of 30 batches of faucets checked by Shanghai's market watchdog failed tests for metal contaminant or corrosion resistance, officials said on Friday.
The Shanghai Administration for Market Regulation said Larsd faucets sold on JD.com failed for lead leakage, while Hanyu and Jegmwa faucets were substandard for corrosion resistance.
The administration said that long-term use of faucets with metal contaminant could harm health, while faucets failing corrosion resistance tests will lead to green and white stains in a wet environment.
