New Orleans Lead Paint Exposure Attorneys | Slidell Injury Lawyers

Alvendia, Kelly & Demarest is a personal injury law firm representing victims of lead paint exposure against landlords, toy makers, and paint manufacturers. Although the use of lead-based paint in homes has been banned by the federal government for over 30 years, children still continue to be exposed to lead every day in homes, offices, and other buildings constructed before 1978. In 1978, the government banned the use of lead in new paint sold after that year. However, many apartments, houses, and office buildings still contain lead-based paint. In addition, although lead-based paint is not currently used in products manufactured in the U.S., a recent wave of product recalls involved high levels of lead paint found in children's toys and other products imported from foreign countries.

Children are especially vulnerable to lead exposure through paint chips or paint dust because their bodies are still developing. Even low levels of exposure to lead in children can lead to serious behavioral and learning problems. Sometimes, the symptoms of lead exposure may not be discovered until years after the child was exposed. In these cases, it is essential that you call an experienced lead paint attorney to discuss your case. Symptoms of lead poisoning include:

• Anemia
• Headaches
• Hearing problems
• Seizures
• Stunted growth
• Abdominal pain/cramps
• Vomiting
• Coma
