No action arising from the purchase of Historic Flooring’s Products may be brought by Buyer more than one year after the shipment date of such Products.
Since many of the buildings that the lumber comes from were built prior to 1978, it is likely that at one time the boards could have had lead based paint on them. It is the customer’s responsibility to educate themselves about lead based paint hazards. For more information on this go to http://www.epa.gov/lead/
