Jury Awards Damages in Lead Paint Case
A jury has ordered a nonprofit organization and its president to pay $2.5 million to siblings who were exposed to lead-based paint while living in a Baltimore rowhouse during the early 1990s. In the verdict, jurors found that City Homes Inc. and its president Barry Mankowitz were negligent for misrepresenting the home as “lead safe.” Both children suffer from permanent cognitive and behavioral disabilities as a result of the exposure, experts testified.
