What are the potential impacts of a child's exposure to lead?

A child who is exposed to lead, especially during the formative years, can sustain brain damage, um, learning disabilities or even death depending upon the concentration of lead in their bodies and in their bloodstreams. It's very dangerous.

Are accidents from tire defects still common?

Tire defects are still a problem on roads in the United States today. They're hard to prevent against because tread separation just happens sometimes spontaneously. And no inspection of the tire by a lay person would really reveal that there's a risk of something happening. Once the tire fails, the vehicle is susceptible to going off the road, rolling over and causing serious, catastrophic injury to occupants or bystanders. I'm attorney Tom Kiley.
