Many consumer products are required to meet certain federal and industry standards regarding the quality of the materials used during the manufacturing process. Childcare products and toys are no exception to this rule. One particular regulation states that these products can’t include excessive amounts of lead, a dangerous substance. Manufacturers responsible for putting out lead-coated products or toys can be held liable for the suffering these toys may cause a child and their family.

The Hazards of Lead Paint Poisoning

- Coma
