Remember the housing boom of mid 2000's?

Thousands of homes in the SE and in California must be stripped or razed because of hydrogen sulfide leeching from the imported Chinese drywall.

Nobody says who will pay; state owned drywall plants in China, installers, retailers or home owners insurance. Either way, it will be in the billions. Not counting health related lawsuits.

This will be an unimaginable clusterfuck of epic scale.

www.chinesedrywall.com

Also google " chinese drywall to be removed ".

Tens of thousands of homes around me ordered gutted, lol. What a mess. One hundred times the chemical content compared to normal drywall. Jesus, the rotten bastards.

Or,

Spoiler (highlight to read):
is it all a lie designed to stimulate the construction economy, wreck the insurance industry and make chinese imports less appealing?

That's terrible.

Imagine all the people who are left without housing while they have their homes inspected and then cleaned out. That process could take months.

Yes, Chinese drywall is a real hazard and not part of some far-fetched conspiracy.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Chinese manufacturing.
God I'm glad I'm not dealing with that crap any more.

How come the importers didn't pick it up?

How come the US standards people didn't pick it up?

I'm glad my house was built in the 40's. All I have to worry about is a little asbestos.

Drywall leeching toxins,

Kitchen floor bleeding out formaldehyde,

Melamine coming from the kitchen counters,

toxic chemicals leeching out from the water pipes.

Or, as it is known in the military, "New on-post housing".

didn't you know that your lead paint was the only thing keeping to govt from satellite spying on you 24/7/. Kids chewing on the walls... yah right. /tin foil hat 2.0 on.

On the OP, I used to go to a Korean restaurant, really good food. Anyway, the lady who owned it waws korean and told me that she would not buy condiments made in China because the chinese businessmen didn't give a crap about what they put in the food as long as it made them profit. So now I look where the condiments are made and I don't buy chinese... On the drywall stuff well what can you say except mini "McMansions" are just disposable housing meant to last little more than their 10 year warranties... too bad they have 30 year mortgages and people have to live in them.

The Chinese will not extradite one of their own. So we should pool our resources into one big pot.
