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

Universal MultiChoice Valves

CPSC
The CPSC and Delta Faucet Co., of Indianapolis, Ind. are recalling about 105,000 Universal MultiChoice Valves (used in bathtubs and showers) because '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.'

According to the CPSC recall alert, '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.'
