Lead dust is a serious health risk, especially for children. It can enter your home from high-traffic areas where paint chips off, through everyday hand-to-mouth activities, and from pets tracking in contaminated soil. Renovations in older homes can also release lead dust.
To protect your family, regularly clean surfaces with damp cloths, wash children's hands often, and remove shoes at the door. If you're renovating a pre-1978 home, hire lead-safe certified contractors.
Please stay informed and take action to reduce lead exposure.

BESPOKE: “.. In inflation-adjusted terms, the current pace of [US] factory investment dwarfs any prior period. Dating back to 1929, there's never been a period of factory construction activity even close to what we're seeing today.” 🇺🇸
