Dangerous lead levels found in garden hoses

Some garden hoses have lead levels that exceed EPA standards, ABC News reported. A network affiliate in Phoenix tested 10 hoses bought from local mass merchants and discovered five of them had high lead content.

In 2004, three hose manufacturers were sued by the Center for Environmental Health for having high lead levels in products. The companies have agreed to significantly reduce lead levels in hoses by July 31 of this year.
