This one was from China as well, a no-name seller. The price was cheap enough to be worth the risk. Not so cheap as to make them disposable, but hey, it's not like there's a huge selection of bamboo-style faucets out there. :) Yep, I caught it soon enough that it didn't cause too much damage. Figured I'd give you a heads up. Water damage sucks!
