The coverage gap most often missed
The gap most often missed by plumbing showrooms is a lead or contaminants exclusion. Many products-completed operations forms exclude lead, leaving a store exposed when it sells imported faucets that aren't certified — the exact pattern behind CPSC's 2025 warnings. Confirm there is no lead exclusion and that supplier vendor endorsements are in place.
