The Lead Lawsuit Settlement

In July of 2019, after 16 years of vigorous litigation, a settlement was reached between 10 California jurisdictions and three paint manufacturers. ConAgra Grocery Products Co., NL Industries Inc. and Sherwin-Williams Company have agreed to pay into a multimillion-dollar fund to remove toxic lead paint hazards from residential properties. As a result, the San Diego Residential Lead Abatement Program (SDRLAP) was created. Learn more about SDRLAP.
