The Home Depot’s lead paint removal business is currently the subject of a federal criminal investigation, with homeowners around the country complaining that high-priced contractors hired through the retailer used unsafe practices that endangered lives.
WSB-TV in Home Depot’s hometown of Atlanta (warning: auto-play video at that link) paid visits to homeowners to check out their stories of allegedly terrible lead abatement. These customers say they were charged extra for what was supposed to be a specialized service, but claim that the workers didn’t do anything to minimize the dangers.
