Aging vinyl mini-blinds produce high levels of lead dust when consistently exposed to the sun's UV rays. The degradation of the paint on the slats, as the blinds are exposed to sunlight, causes the release of lead dust which accumulates on the slat surfaces. Aside from inhaling lead dust, there is also the risk that children will ingest lead dust by licking or sucking the blinds.  more
