How America's paint industry escapes responsibility for lead poisoning

Mike Mechanic of Mother Jones says, "We're running this piece by Lilly Fowler of FairWarning about how the lead paint industry, whose products are still poisoning kids, mostly poor kids, all over America, has managed to fend off nearly every lawsuit seeking money to help clean up the this mess. A big trial on the issue, perhaps the last, is happening right now in San Jose."

FairWarning is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit news organization focused on public health and safety issues.
