Adding to a growing list of defective Chinese products is Chinese-made drywall.
State and federal agencies have found that Chinese drywall emits ""volatile sulfur compounds," and contain traces of strontium sulfide- which can produce a rotten-egg odor, along with organic compounds not found in American-made drywall"- states the Associated Press story.
The AP story also states: "Homeowners complain the fumes are corroding copper pipes, destroying TVs and air conditioners, and blackening jewelry and silverware. Some believe the wallboard is also making them ill."
To make matters worse- American insurance companies are denying claims where Chinese drywall is involved- and insurance companies are even cancelling policies where Chinese drywall is used.
Hey- have a Merry Chinese-bought-stuff-from-WalMart and Home Depot Christmas!

Defective and toxic drywall manufactured in and imported from China has forced thousands of Americans to leave their new homes. It has caused skin irritations and trouble breathing.
As more time passes, more homes are being tested and eventually gutted of this serious health concern. No home is safer than another. If you live in new home, it is possible it was constructed using this inferior and dangerous product.
New homes in Louisiana and Nevada to multi-million-dollar condos in Florida, where the problem started, are included. If you've been affected, or know someone who has or may be, please read this Web site for a complete dossier on the subject:http://chinesedrywall.org/
