Experience makes all the difference
Lead poisoning is most common, and most damaging, in very young children. Exposure to lead-based paint is the primary source. Even a small amount of peeling, chipping, or dusting paint in older housing can be hazardous, and no amount of lead is safe in a child’s body.
Call The Frankel Law Firm about a Yonkers matter. Outside the five boroughs, start with the child’s doctor and local health contacts, and still call the firm. There is no fee to speak to us or for us to evaluate your potential case.
What you can do now
Speak with your child’s doctor, and do not scrape or sand paint yourself. Keep the lab slip, the lease, and photos of windows and door frames. We cannot order a blood test or a repair; that is the health department’s role. A longer checklist is on What to do now.
