What You Should Do

Stop using this product immediately. Do not consume, use, or distribute it.

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.

Affected Products

The Universal Multichoice Valves were sold under the Delta brand name. The valves are used in bathtubs and showers to regulate the temperature of the water flow. The valves are located inside the shower or bathtub water control knobs.

Why Was This Recalled?

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.

Where Was This Sold?

Distribution information not available.
