Hello Peter and thank you for the feedback you posted on the Home Depot website. Moen takes consumer comments very seriously and we are happy to have the opportunity to hear your opinion. The Moen Brantford Single-Handle Pull-Down Sprayer Kitchen Faucet with Reflex and Power Boost in Oil Rubbed Bronze is manufactured with both metallic and non-metallic components. The pull-down sprayer also contains both metallic and non-metallic components; the non-metallic components help minimize any breakage if the sprayer is dropped during use. The use of non-metallic components is also done to comply with the lower lead limits imposed in 2010 by California and Vermont. Legislation went into effect in January 2014, known as the 2011 Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act that made these lower limits mandatory in all 50 states. Your new Moen Brantford Single-Handle Pull-Down Sprayer Kitchen Faucet with Reflex and Power Boost in Oil Rubbed Bronze has been thoughtfully designed, manufactured under strict quality guidelines for reliable performance/excellent value and is backed by our lifetime limited warranty to the original product purchaser. Moen product specialists are available for pre-purchase, installation and warranty assistance. They can be reached at 1-800-289-6636 and are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am – 7:00 pm Eastern Time.
