Don’t Underestimate the Effects of Lead Poisoning
Many people do not worry about lead exposure very much anymore. After all, lead usage has been outlawed in the U.S. since the 1970s. However, there are still plenty of buildings that contain lead products in our area.
Lead exposure is very dangerous. In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) included lead on a list of ten chemicals that represent a major concern for public health. Lead poisoning – from paint or other sources – can have a number of serious impacts on your health. You may experience:
- Headaches, memory loss, and seizures
- Irritability, hyperactivity, or fatigue
- Loss of appetite or pica (the desire to eat things that are not food)
- Pain in your joints or abdomen
Children who are exposed to high levels of lead may face developmental difficulties. Finally, exposure to enough lead can even result in the loss of life in Los Angeles.

Hazards Associated with Lead Paint in Los Angeles
Lead exposure in the U.S. is often tied to lead paint. We generally see lead paint poisoning in children, instead of adults. Children – especially toddlers – may pick pieces of paint off of the wall and ingest these paint chips.
Note also that paint is not the only source of lead exposure in California. You may also find lead in furniture, toys, and other items, especially if they are constructed outside of the U.S. Not all countries use the same laws to regulate lead levels.

Lead Paint Poison Injuries and Premises Liability Claims

- A property owner knew a hazard – such as lead paint – existed on their property and
- They did not remove the hazard in a reasonable period of time OR
- They did not provide warnings about the hazard to visitors to the property
