Bans on lead paint and gasoline left legacy lead hazards for decades

Evidence

Lead was eventually banned from house paint and gasoline during the 1970s, but the health hazard for children lingered because of the lead paint that remained in millions of homes. In addition, Mattel, the world’s largest toy maker, has had to recall millions of toys produced in Chinese factories because they contained lead-contaminated paint (Sellers, 2010). — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1776
