You can forget about "liability" and "shareholder equity". Pre-schoolers don't suck on the exterior surfaces of cars and tractors. And if they did, it is reasonable to expect that their parents would stop such behavior. On the other hand, kids do chew window sills, toys, crayons, and the like that are available in the home.

When I buy auto paint I always ask about lead content. The last red paint I bought was three years ago. It contained lead. We all have lead in our bodies.

It should be noted that modern leaded auto paints are nowhere near as dangerous, as it relates to lead, as the older formulations.
