Holy carp. Paint chips aren't the issue. Any contact kids have with lead (i.e. touching a lead-painted surface) and then eating food, smoking a fattie, eating an apple, etc. has a potential impact on their intelligence. This isn't just a paint chip issue. The acceptable exposure level for lead is really really low for kids. Most paint colours do not require lead. It whitens, brightens, and adds longevity to paint colours, but it is in no way required to make good paint. I suggest that the industry suck it up and source their paints better. In my opinion, this issue will affect the industry for a year at most, because Chinese factories can source better paints as well as anyone. The retail house paint market went through this same changeover and is still around.
