National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week is October 23-29.

Here are some simple things you can do to help protect your children:

• Get your home tested. Have your home inspected if you live in a home built before 1978.
• Get your child tested. Even if your young children seem healthy, ask your doctor to test them for lead.
• Get the facts. Visit leadfreekids.org or call 1-800-424-LEAD.
