Plaintiffs Win $6M In Lead Poisoning Verdict
Plaintiffs Win $6M In Lead Poisoning Verdict
Introduction
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin awarded $6 million in damages, $2 million each to plaintiffs who suffered from the effects of lead poisoning when they were children.
The defendants included various major paint manufacturers like Armstrong Container Corp., Sherwin Williams, American Cyanamid Company, Atlantic Richfield Co., and DuPont. The plaintiffs claimed that they suffered from lead poisoning after ingesting white lead carbonate contained in the products.
Lead poisoning has been a serious health concern among children for decades. It increases the risk of nervous system injury, brain damage, seizures, coma, and even death. Most of the lawsuits were filed against landlords and owners of dilapidated properties where the toxic paint was peeling off the walls, placing their children at risk.
