The evidence showed that it was impossible to have either bought or applied Sherwin-Williams lead-containing residential paint to this house after 1978. The company had stopped manufacturing any residential paints with lead ingredients by the end of 1972.

"Not one fully adjudicated case has held former manufacturers responsible. Sherwin-Williams is proud of its responsible corporate history and has been an industry leader in protecting homeowners against the dangers of poorly-maintained lead paint."
