Due to a domestic shortage of drywall, thousands of American homes were built with over 500 million pounds of defective Chinese drywall from 2004 to 2006. Chinese Drywall is also found in homes built in Oklahoma.
As of now, at least 1,500 cases of defective Chinese drywall from 27 states have been reported to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Many believe Chinese Drywall is located in all states.
Although the actual causes and long-term health effects of defective Chinese drywall are not yet known, many residents whose homes were built with drywall have complained of adverse reactions such as difficulty breathing, bloody noses, frequent headaches, irritated eyes, as well as sinus infections and asthma attacks.
One of the most common signs of the presence of Chinese drywall is a strong sulfurous smell, like rotten eggs, as well as noticeable property damage, such as the corrosion and tarnishing of jewelry, silverware, and metal appliances.
Air-conditioning failures are also commonly reported, due to erosion of their copper coils by the sulfur.
The end result– a combination of adverse health reactions, broken appliances, and falling property values—is one that can deal a severe blow to already struggling homeowners.
