In 1978, federal regulations were passed that banned the use of lead in any consumer paints. Lead was a common ingredient in paint for over a hundred years. It's also why Behr has actively participated in setting the national standards for lead warnings with the National Paint and Coatings Association (NPCA) and the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG). That is why we began putting lead warning statements on our products several years ago despite the fact that our products have never contained lead pigments. We are concerned about your health and want to make sure you are aware of the risks associated with sanding or scraping old paint. This can lead to brain damage and other health risks. If a young child eats peeling paint containing lead pigment, they can significantly raise the level of lead in their bodies. The dust from sanding can contain lead particles that might be breathed in or swallowed. This is particularly true when old paint containing lead pigment is sanded or scraped off a wall or other surface. Why should that concern you? Because paint containing lead pigments can be very hazardous to your health, especially for small children and pregnant women. However, for many years prior to 1978, other paint manufacturers did make paint that contained lead pigments. Behr has never made a paint product that contained lead pigment.
