Overview federal lead in paint requirements what are the federal requirements limiting lead in paint and similar surface coatings in children's products? there are two distinct requirements concerning lead in children’s products – one deals with the levels of lead contained in the paint or other surface coating of a children’s product (discussed on this page), while the other requirement covers the total lead content of the children’s product.

Lead metal expands and contracts a great deal in the temperatures experienced in the uk which often leads to paint cracking and flaking.

In the early 1970s, philip landrigan , an epidemiologist and pediatrician, tested the lead levels in the blood of children who went to school within one mile of asarco , a smelting plant in el paso, texas. What he found was, at the time, both devastating and astonishing. He concluded that even small amounts of lead in the blood contributed to lower iq and impaired motor coordination.
