“Manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers of spray paints with lead additives, including those selling them online, should discontinue such illegal trade that goes against the goal of eliminating lead paint to protect public health and the environment,” he said. EcoWaste said among the 13 lead-containing paints were Colorz Chisai Acrylic Spray Paint , F1 Aerosol Spray Paint , MR. D.I.Y. Spray Paint , Sanvo Aerosol Paint , Super 7 Acrylic Spray Paint , and Veslee Aerosol Paint .
