White lead, which has soluble lead and tastes sweet, has not been used in many years. Older housing stock may have layers of paint containing this pigment, if the paint peels and kids chew the chips, they can ingest harmful amounts of lead. This bit of bribery campaign contributing reduces the liability of National Lead (later NL Industries) as the producer of the toxic pigment.
I have a can of white lead in my collection of off-the-wall antiquities. I've never tasted it, but I will admit to dipping a finger in and admiring it's creamy texture.
I thought lead paint had already been banned for like 50 years? Huh.
