California Court of Appeals judges on Tuesday found three paint manufacturers responsible for the health hazards of lead paint in California homes – and upheld an order for the companies to pay a combined $1.15 billion into an abatement fund to remove the lead in homes in 10 cities and counties in the state, according to reports.
