[Lead Paint] Alessia Grew Up in an Old House

Question 70

Multiple Choice

[Lead paint] Alessia grew up in an old house. When Alessia was 25 years old, she was diagnosed with permanent kidney and nervous system damage, which doctors determined was linked to the lead paint she chipped off her windows and digested when she was a younger child. In order to offset some of the continuing medical costs, Alessia wants to sue the lead paint manufacturer, however, she doesn't know what brand of paint was used in her home. The most popular brand of lead paint in her area at the time the interior of her house was painted was made by ColorCo, but PaintCo and BrightCo were significant producers also with PaintCo having sales just behind ColorCo.
-Can Alessia sue only ColorCo, the largest lead paint manufacturer who manufactured the type of paint in her home, even though there are other paint manufacturers who produced an identical defective product?

E) Yes, only if she can prove the defendant sold lead paint in her area.
