Parent 1
Announcer:
I know that as parents, we work hard to do everything right. We baby-proof our homes, put our kids in car-seats, and learn what to do in an emergency. Yet most parents don’t know that children could be poisoned by lead paint in their own homes. Lead poisoning causes permanent learning and behavioral disorders, and the culprit is usually dust from peeling or chipping lead paint which goes from children’s hands right into their mouths. Keep paint in good condition in your home, day care center and other places where your children live and play. Ask your doctor to test your child for lead poisoning and get your home tested too. For more information on how to address lead paint problems safely, call 1-800-424-LEAD.

Parent 2
Announcer:
As parents, we try to do everything right for our children. We baby-proof our homes, put our kids in car-seats, and learn what to do in an emergency. Yet many parents never suspect that thousands of children are being poisoned by lead paint in their own homes. Lead poisoning causes permanent learning and behavioral disorders, and the culprit is usually dust from peeling or chipping lead paint. If you have young children, watch out for damaged paint and repair it immediately. For more information, call 1-800- 424-LEAD.

Parent 3 (rental)
Announcer:
As parents, we try to do everything right for our children. We get them immunized, use car safety seats, and learn what to do in an emergency. Yet many parents are surprised to learn that their children can be poisoned by peeling or chipping paint in their own homes. Lead poisoning causes permanent learning and behavioral problems. If you rent, report any peeling paint or water damage to your landlord. Make sure that lead hazards are repaired safely.

Consumer
Announcer:
When it’s time to remodel our homes, we try to do everything right, from picking a great paint color to getting the correct building permits. Yet many do-ityourselfers are surprised to learn that their home improvements could cause lead poisoning in the children who live there. Lead poisoning causes permanent learning and behavioral problems, and a common culprit is dust from peeling or chipping lead paint. Repainting and repairs can also create lead dust. If you plan to repaint or remodel, be sure to contain and clean up paint chips and dust. After the job is finished, conduct a lead dust test to make sure the house is safe for children. For more information on lead-safe remodeling, call 1-800-424-LEAD.
