There was a PSA about lead paint in the early 70s, ran on TV and radio.
Can’t find it anywhere but the lyrics are here:
Paint chips peelin’
from the ceiling
by my baby’s bed.
Eatin’ paint and plaster,
took him to the doctor.
Convulsions, lead poisonin’
ghetto malaria
why Lord, why?
Landlord lazy,
an’ I’m half crazy,
‘cause my baby’s dead . . .
I just remember all the "noise" re "some" children being ill and/or worse because they ate paint chips in federal housing.
I always wonder who would let their kids eat paint chips and why didn't they clean them up when they fell, so that kids would be tempted to touch/eat them.
