Delta Faucet Co. Recalls Bathtub and Shower Temperature Control Valves Due to Scald Hazard

CPSC · 07505 · published 2006-10-25

CPSC campaign 07505

Hazard

The device in the valve that limits the amount of hot water that can flow from the shower head or bathtub spout can disengage after being manually set, causing consumers to come in contact with water that is hotter than expected. This poses a risk of scalding injuries.

Remedy

Consumers should exercise caution when adjusting the temperature on faucets with these valves as water may come out hotter than expected. Delta is contacting consumers with the recalled valves to provide them with a free upgrade kit. Consumers should always test the water temperature before entering a tub or shower. Contact Delta Faucet if you do not receive an upgrade kit.
