Yeah, really...lead. And high amounts of it too. I've known about that for years, as it is reinforced in Ag classes and pesticide use training about the dangers of drinking from "garden" hoses. Lead leaches quickly at high levels. The RV type aren't low VOC, they are low lead...Here's a quick read.

Maybe somebody's been drinking from the hose too much? lol
