Randall Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) Benjamin Moore stopped using lead way before many other companies. They should have too. They know it was harmful. How were we supposed to know idiots were going to let the paint flake off and then feed it to their kids? 1336743[/snapback] It isn't just the kids, although they are most vulnerable. It's also the dust from sanding and touching it. Why don't you google lead paint and find out for yourself.

Randall Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Can you back this up? I'm rather involved in this situation, I should say no more in this forum ... probably shouldn't have even brought it up. 1336788[/snapback] Ask them. They issued statements on lead and mercury too when it was reported being a danger. They stopped using both a long time before they were an issue. They issued press releases. I'm involved too as I am a contractor that has to remove lead occassionally. Try here. Doing worry though. USG went down a ton too(over asbestos issues) until the Bush adm tried limiting judgements. I'll bet it will be back up soon. When it gets there sell. More "In 1968 Benjamin Moore removed lead as an ingredient in our paint formulations, a decade before legislation was passed banning lead in paint. In 1970, Benjamin Moore eliminated mercury from its products - two decades before the EPA banned the use of mercury in interior latex paints.

Ursa Majoris Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 F'n lawyers. What BS. Reading through the verdict just handed down, it's hard to disagree with that. Note that this was the government doing the suing though, not some sue-happy contingency attorney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
