The product, in the report: Colorations® Washable Glitter Paint, 16 oz.
I am an accredited U.S.EPA instructor and University research member. As such parents from around the states contact me when they have concerns over Lead. Recently, a parent from Florida contacted me because her child had a lead level of 11ug and her house was not painted with lead paint. The home was constructed in 1978. Interviewing the parent I discovered that they recently had a bathroom remodeled and no one controlled the dust. A certified inspector was called to the home and discovered that the remaining tile (just like that remodeled) registered over 20mg/cm2. It is possible the child was contaminated by the remodeling dust because he crawled on the carpet close to the area remodeled and only normal house cleaning (not abatement cleaning) was used. The parent’s, now being aware of lead and its hazards panicked and had everything in the house tested. The child’s school project painted with “Coloration” Green Glitter Paint registered (.4mg/cm2). This product concerns me. Many teachers buy this product from “Discount School Supplies” on line. Can CPSC test the product as purchased from this online service or do you want me to get the actual bottle from the preschool where the Florida child attended.
(Issue 2)... Several years ago, the Southern Nevada Health Department closed down some [REDACTED] shops for excessively high levels of lead dust in the shops. The shop owners were made to abate the shops and asked to purchase un leaded ceramic paints. I thought they would comply but a student in one of my lead classes brought in a freshly painted ceramic plate made by his granddaughter in one of our local Las Vegas shops. It registered 8.6 to 5.6 mg/cm2. I thought ceramic paint (hobby paint) was now limited to 100ppm. Thank you for any help in this matter. Please let me know what else I can do to help. [REDACTED]
