Drinking water coolers with lead-lined tanks count as 'imminently hazardous' consumer products. The Consumer Product Safety Commission must order makers and importers to repair, replace, or recall them. This must happen within one year, with refunds provided for recalled coolers.
For purposes of the Consumer Product Safety Act [15 U.S.C. 2051 et seq.], all drinking water coolers identified by the Administrator* on the list under section 300j–23 of this title as having a lead-lined tank* shall be considered to be imminently hazardous consumer products within the meaning of section 12 of such Act (15 U.S.C. 2061). After notice and opportunity for comment, including a public hearing, the Consumer Product Safety Commission shall issue an order requiring the manufacturers and importers of such coolers to repair*, replace, or recall and provide a refund for such coolers within 1 year after October 31, 1988. For purposes of enforcement, such order shall be treated as an order under section 15(d) of that Act (15 U.S.C. 2064(d)).
