(1).(b) A chewable lead-based painted surface bears evidence of teeth marks.(c) There is any damaged or deteriorated lead-based paint on an impact surface that is caused by impact from a related building component.(d) There is any other deteriorated lead-based paint in any dwelling or child-occupied facility or on the exterior of any dwelling or child-occupied facility.Wis.
