Lead Paint Lawsuit in Ohio Is Not Glossed Over
The Attorney General in Ohio, Marc Dann has sued several paint manufacturers who continue to sell lead paint, even though the federal government outlawed the practice in 1978. Lead paint has been implicated with attention deficit, learning disabilities and even death in children.
Ten companies including Sherwin-Williams and DuPont are being sued under Ohio’s public nuisance law for fraud and negligence. In 2005, Rhode Island sued and won a toxic paint lawsuit against Sherwin-Williams and two other manufacturers and now is offering to help Ohio in winning their case.
