Lead was banned in residential paint and toys in the United States in 1978 due to health concerns, particularly its effects on children. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) implemented these regulations to reduce lead exposure. Additionally, the use of leaded gasoline was phased out, with a complete ban by 1996. These measures aimed to protect public health and reduce lead poisoning cases.
