Danger danger Will Robinson!

It would seem that some or all new garden hoses have permanent labels that read as follows.  'Not for drinking water'.  Garden hoses are for gardens, right?  If they're not safe to drink from, are they safe to use for the vegetables and fruit (grape vines) we grow in our yards?  Are we contaminating the foods we plan on consuming?  From where and whom do we get answers?  We need to know.  The sooner, the better.........................marge....PS.  One of the items we should be concerned about in these new hoses, appears to be lead.
