VAUGHN 1 -L- 'T'- . . m r-T l r -- ur-ii--.t rij liir:---I... jn.r- -mi r. i Attached is a complaint alleging that Lucite 50 C House Paint caused stomach problems when used outside. With all the paint we have sold, I don't recall any com plaints involving this type of symptoms. Could there be anything to it, or can I reply that as far as we know, Lueite 50 C House Paint was not the causitive agent. As far as a paint mask goes, I plan on suggest ing a Bureau of Mines approved mask, if he really wants to use one. WWM/ps 3~t/~ ?/, WILLIAM W.

Dupont Do :;smours & Go. vYllmington Deleware Dear Sir: Subjects Paint Rumes S.4 Last fall I bought some 50 C low gloss white Lucite House Paint to paint my House. The notice on the Bucket warns to avoid prolong contact with the skin or breathing of spray Mist. I paint with a brush, not spray Paint. There is about 18 inch overhang all around the house of the roof and it is hard to keep from breathing the fumes when painting under there * One evening after painting my stomach hurt. It lasted about one hour. Two days later it started at 3Am and lasted until 10 AM and hurt so bad I could not sleep. Than for about a week. I.had trouble with the bowels moving. 1 quit painting and have not been bothered since. How I would like to finish Painting, but afraid to breath the fumes again. I tried at the paint store to get a filter to wear to filter out th fumes but they dont have any. The reason I wrote I thought you could tell me where to get a reliable mask to filter out these fumes.I I have alwalys painted with Oil paint and never have been bothered before. This is My first explorenee with other than oil Faint. Yours truly, Walter J, Vaughn 419 Porth 6th St, Wood River, Illinois 62095 DUP050077665 N42366.01
