Chinese drywall

Chinese drywall-Chinese drywall emerged on the U.S. market in 2004 and seemed to be the answer to costly building materials with a prefab factory-made wall paneling. The construction industry could buy them for less than a U.S. grade material and the installation was fast and cheap. However, the Chinese drywall panels do not come without controversy, and dissatisfied consumers and contractors are coming forward with valid complaints.

Most of the manufacturing problems have come from the southeast states, where a warm and humid climate may have hastened an adverse effect of the interior materials used in the Chinese drywall. Florida has received the bulk of the consumer complaints, with an estimated 100,000 plus homes made of the imported material. Residents complained of a noxious rotten egg smell and many people suffered a physical reaction to the chemicals used in the Chinese drywall products. Headaches, nausea, sinus inflammation, nose bleeds and respiratory problems top the list sparking a flood of complaints sent to the Florida Department of Health.
