I think this sort of litigation would prompt companies to think twice about any form of recall of defective or dangerous products. Why would a company voluntarily recall a defective/dangerous product when they know full well that some schmuck out there in greedville is going to drag them into litigation? This is setting us up for some dangerous secretive behaviors by product manufacturers and importers for the future. By the way, does anyone know how many gallons of lead-based paint a kid would have to ingest before any kind of "injury" could occur? Also, lead is an environmental element pervasive in many areas of the country, not just in Section 8 housing...you have lead in your system just from existing in a particular place. Who's to say that in the event a kid shows traces of lead in his system that it came from lead-based paint and not from his outdoor environment? We've gotten ridiculous with greed in this country, and you can pin the blame squarely on the legal profession.
