Defense Points To Remember :
Lead can be found in a variety of sources in Baltimore:
- Paint in homes built before 1978;
- Water pumped through leaded pipes;
- Imported items including clay pots;
- Certain consumer products such as candies, make-up and jewelry; and
- Certain imported home remedies.

On the defense side, courts have begun to recognize that a defendant landlord still has the right to question causation and thereby escape liability or mitigate its damages, even where there is evidence of lead exposure and the landlord had actual or constructive notice of the condition.
