BALTIMORE — A multi-million dollar settlement was reached tonight after lead paint chips fell into a Baltimore neighborhood, including a playground.
Multi-million dollar settlement reached over lead paint in Baltimore
The attorney general said a tower company and its contractor failed to follow safety protocols while working on a structure known to contain lead.
Investigators said crews scraped and pressure-washed the tower, sending paint debris into yards, parks, and even storm drains connected to local waterways.
“When a child is exposed to lead… the damage doesn’t always show up right away… it can impact their ability to learn, to focus, and reach their full potential,” a speaker said.
The companies will now pay more than $2 million, with some of that money going toward cleanup and community protection.
