I bought this a few weeks ago:

With that and various other brass fittings, I added to fittings under my sink in order to split the water supply two ways: one towards the faucet where it was going before, and the other way to a carbon refrigerator filter to use for drinking water. Before the system went operational, I saw a lead-related warning on the brass ball valve saying it is not approved for use in drinking water in California. I then read about a 2014 regulation not approving fittings containing more than 0.25% lead for drinking water purposes. Is this genuinely dangerous? Do I need to swap everything out?
This is for personal use, not commercial.
By the way, after the last component, there is a ERWF271 which lists lead as one of the items it filters.
