In a major front page article on Sunday, February 28, 2016, in The Baltimore Sun newspaper ---
"SEEKING PAYBACK", by Luke Broadwater, it was essentially announced that a major effort was being mounted in the city to build class action cases against lead paint manufacturers who marketed and sold lead-based paint for use in residential houses for years after they knew, or should have known, of the harmful effects of lead on the human body --- and in particular, in very young children.
We view this as a good development, since the burden of lead paint liability has focus almost single-mindedly on Baltimore's residential rental landlords, not all of whom are completely at fault for this public health problem.
The good news is that lead poisoning is preventable, even though lead is virtually everywhere in the city: in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, soils, some food and drinks we consume, imported consumer products, etc. Baltimore residential rental landlords can help themselves and their tenants prevent lead poisoning claims by (1) providing GOOD MAINTENANCE on the rental, (2) providing LAWFUL NOTICE to tenants, and by (3) KEEPING GOOD RECORDS (Tenant and Property Files).
