The infamous and awful Johns Hopkins University Kennedy Krieger Institute's "Baltimore Lead Study" of 1993 has done much in souring the local sentiment regarding due process for landlords as defendants in lead-based paint poisoning lawsuits.
In the 1990s, a prominent research facility associated with Johns Hopkins University conducted an experiment that knowingly exposed children — mostly African American, some as young as a year old — to varying levels of potentially dangerous lead, as part of a study comparing different degrees of lead paint abatement. The researchers, at Hopkins’ Kennedy Krieger Institute, recruited poor families to move into homes that had only been partially abated using three different methods of lead paint removal at three different levels of cost.
It is this type of negative exposure, in conjunction with many "slum lords," that makes it more difficult for honest landlords to mount defense in their cases. Indeed, due to all the negativity directed towards landlords in these cases, numerous judges, public officials and commentators have suggested that in certain circumstances lead poisoning cases are "indefensible."
