Abstract
"This Just In" piece reporting that Maine officials are discussing whether to sue paint manufacturers for lead exposure, following a landmark decision holding paint companies responsible for lead-poisoned children in Rhode Island. Linda Conti, chief of the Maine attorney general's consumer-protection division, confirmed that two Maine officials attended a lead litigation conference last month. According to state officials, lead poisons more than 1,000 Maine children each year. Sandra Roseberry and other local activists have been urging the Maine Attorney General's office to sue former lead pigment manufacturers to remove all lead from all of Maine's homes.
