Leaded paint and Asbestos are examples of things where nothing was really done about them other than the manufacturers were required to slowly phase the products out. As late as the 1980s drywall contains asbestos, and both leaded paint and asbestos persists in a remarkable amount of products that remain installed in many houses throughout the US, to the degree where you're risking liability by not just blanket warning potential tenants about it. So we didn't really do much about it from the homeowner's perspective.
