Lowe’s Home Centers Hit With $12.5 Million Penalty for Lead-Paint Safety Violations During Home Renovations Federal regulators have ordered Lowe’s Home Centers to pay a $12.5 million civil penalty after investigators found the company repeatedly violated lead-safe renovation rules during home improvement projects across multiple states. According to officials, Lowe’s contractors failed to follow federally required safety practices designed to protect families—especially children—from toxic lead-based paint exposure. Violations included improper containment, lack of cleanup verification, and failing to provide customers with mandatory lead-hazard information. The settlement is one of the largest ever issued for residential renovation lead-safety failures, underscoring federal concern about the long-term health risks posed by lead contamination in homes. Officials say the enforcement action sends a clear message: major retailers must ensure strict compliance with federal health and safety standards during every renovation project.
