using exterior paint in a kids bedroom...?

trillium l

okay, just finished painting my son's room with exterior 100% acrylic latex paint. (i was told at the store that it would be okay) but now, after smelling it still 24 hours later, i began to research the health issues, and they are NOT good. I haven't let anyone sleep or play in just yet, but i want to know what could really happen if i keep it the way it is. Is it true that after it completely dries it still lets out "bad" vapors? i know i should probably just go buy interior and re-do it all considering my son's health is way more important than anything else. I just wanted to see if anyone else has used exterior paint in a kids room, and whether or not they had an issues with it. Thank you in advance.

Answer
Should be ok after it dries. I notice now some paints are rated interior/exterior. Not a good idea. My husband bought Kilz Brand to paint outside. I emailed Kilz before he used it, they promised it was ok for outside. What a mess that paint made. Looked like he painted with white wash instead of paint. It is going to have to be redone this summer. But as far as health, I don't think it will cause a problem, lead is not allowed in any paint these days.
