Universal MultiChoice Valves (used in bathtubs and showers)
Published May 23, 2014 · Recall initiated: October 25, 2006
What's the 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.
What to do
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.
