Lead Poisoning
Though it seems like common sense these days to avoid using lead-based products, sometimes we are sold lead products without warning. Unfortunately, these products may be very dangerous to our health and may lead to serious injury or even death. Since lead products are generally banned from retail, you may be able to hold your retailer or manufacturer liable should you get lead poisoning.
If your loved one died because of lead poisoning, contact the Pennsylvania wrongful death lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 610-667-7511.
Signs of Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning may manifest itself in any number of ways, but the most common symptoms are:
- Stomach aches and diarrhea
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Muscle weakness
Should you experience any of these symptoms, see a doctor immediately to get proper treatment. As with any illness, you may not experience any symptoms if you have suffered lead poisoning. If you think you may have suffered lead poisoning, you should see a doctor even if you are not showing symptoms so that you can get tested.
Lead poisoning can have long-term effects, including behavioral changes and cognitive disabilities. In more serious cases, it can cause death. No matter the severity of the poisoning, lead poisoning is a serious matter.
