The use of lead-based paint in residential structures and environments was banned in the US in 1971, and the manufacture of lead-based house paint was banned in the US in 1978.
So you're claiming that non-house lead paint is being (illegally!) used "off-label" even more than lead paint was used when it was legal? Seems doubtful.
No, I'm saying that the US is a tiny portion of our population and we are now using lead paint to an explosive degree in India, southeast Asia, and underdeveloped portions of China.
