Wisconsin Supreme Court says makers of lead paint cannot be sued for 'defective design' - Los Angeles Times (http://www.latimes.com/business/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-us-lead-paint-wisconsin,0,1722801.story)Writing for the majority, Justice Ann Walsh Bradley said the boy and other plaintiffs cannot claim manufacturers of white lead carbonate products used as a pigment in residential paints were responsible for a design defect.

"Removing lead from white lead carbonate pigment would transform it into a different product," she wrote. "Under these circumstances, we conclude that the design of white lead carbonate pigment is not defective."

Now that had to be a set back for the product liability lawyers.:cool:
