Lead Safe Paint® is an independent, third party certification program that lets customers know that the paint they are purchasing contains less than 90 parts per million (ppm) lead – the strictest regulatory standard for lead content in paint established by any government anywhere in the world.
Lead is a toxic metal that is especially harmful to brain development in children under age 6 and babies still growing in the womb. Lead paint also poses a hazard for those who come in contact with it during every stage of its use – manufacture, use, removal and disposal.
