The manufacturers of the rubber crumb playgrounds could be held liable for lead injuries to children even if they were unaware of the lead presence or risk. This is because they have a duty of care to ensure the safety of their products, and should have conducted proper testing to identify any potential hazards. Ignorance about the lead levels in their products would not be a valid defense against liability.
