Worldwide Ban on Lead Paint Needed (Sen. Frank Lautenberg)

Lead is a hazardous toxin that can have a devastating effect on human health, especially for young children whose brains are still developing. I call on President Bush to work with our trading partners to initiate a worldwide ban on lead paint in children’s products. A worldwide ban would protect children at home and around the world from the debilitating effects of lead exposure. Our children deserve no less.
