Lead Poisoning

While most lead-based products have been pulled from shelves in the United States, some manage to sneak by.  Most often, these products are children’s toys that contain lead-based paint that are imported from other countries.  This is especially dangerous since lead poisoning tends to affect children more dramatically than adults.  No matter what age you are, however, lead poisoning may seriously affect your health.

If you or someone you love has been exposed to lead and, as a result, suffered an injury, contact the New Jersey personal injury lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. today at 800-346-5529.

Symptoms of Lead Poisoning

Lead poisoning may manifest itself in different ways for different people.  Some of the most common symptoms of lead poisoning include:

  • Abdominal pain
  • Headache
  • Anemia
  • Irritability

In more severe cases, victims may experience seizures or fall into a coma.  Any of these symptoms may lead to death, so it is important to see a physician at the first sign of abnormalities.  Children may exhibit behavioral changes, so if you notice your child’s personality changing, you should take him or her to the doctor, as lead poisoning may lead to developmental problems in children.

If you have been exposed to lead, there is a good chance that it is due to someone’s negligent action.  If that is the case, you may be entitled to financial compensation for any injuries you sustain.
