In our tests, those hoses leached

water contained as much lead as some samples.

This is a good argument for plastic faucets for people, especially those *
with young children because a metal faucet is a source of lead in
drinking water.

Actually, the only lead in the water system of a house is from
soldered joints.
There are plenty of options other then solder for joining metal pipe.
The fact that a valve is metal has nothing to do with if it has led in
the water.
It is all about how you joined that valve to the line, and how the
line is joined at each connection.
