The EPA alleges that Two Chicks and a Hammer violated the law when renovating three different Indianapolis homes.

INDIANAPOLIS — The parent company behind HGTV's Indianapolis-based home renovation show"Good Bones" will pay a $40,000 fine to the Environmental Protection Agency in a settlement stemming from allegations the company violated a federal lead paint law.

The law requires firms that repair, renovate or paint homes, child care facilities, and preschools with lead-based paint built before 1978 to use renovators who are certified by the EPA. The company has since obtained EPA certification and has agreed to comply with the RRP Rule on future projects. The EPA designated the reduction of childhood lead exposures as a high priority for the fiscal years 2020-2023.
