Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP)
Placer County is committed to the goal of eliminating elevated
blood lead levels in children. Many children are exposed to lead in
the home through lead-based paint and everyday objects. Lead
poisoning can cause learning disabilities, behavioral problems,
and, at very high levels, seizures, coma, and even death. Children
under the age of 6 are at greatest risk.
Lead Warnings
Only 20% of all recalled toys are returned. We
would like to encourage parents to return ALL lead related recalled
toys.
