Toxic Chinese drywall contains harmful levels of
chemicals that are strong enough to degrade copper pipes, or
electrical wires, and at the same time create a unhealthy
environment in a home. The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center's
investigation has now determined with 100% certainty, that
imported toxic Chinese drywall has been installed all over the
extreme US Southeast including the states of Florida, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Southeast Texas, and Virginia. Tragically,
we believe toxic Chinese drywall has also been installed in all
other regions of the United States. However, without high
thresholds of heat & humidity, it becomes much more difficult,
to identify homes, and or to see the worst effects of toxic
Chinese drywall.
Are There Any State Or Federal Programs Offering Meaningful
Disaster Assistance For Homeowner Victims of The Toxic Chinese
Drywall Disaster In The US, and or especially in Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, or Southeast Texas?
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says,
"After being first discovered in 2009, there are still no meaningful
federal, or state disaster relief programs for homeowners stuck with
a toxic Chinese drywall home. No group, or organization has tried
harder to get disaster relief for homeowners stuck in toxic Chinese
drywall home, and we will continue our efforts until federal, and
state disaster relief programs are created, and made available for
effected homeowners, and their families. The Chinese Drywall
Complaint Center is now insisting that the states of Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas create disclosure laws to
prevent home buyers, or renters from moving into a home that
contains, or formerly contained toxic Chinese drywall without full
disclosure."
Chinese Drywall Complaint Center Update:
The Chinese drywall Complaint Center now
believes that many more US Southeast homes particularly in Florida,
Southeast Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia and Louisiana have
toxic Chinese drywall than previous calculations. The group says,
"many homes in the US Southeast have toxic Chinese drywall
INTERMIXED with US made drywall. If these homes were built or
remodeled after 2001, we believe
a small amount of imported Chinese drywall is enough to make an
entire house toxic. The net result is instead of ending up with tens
of thousands of toxic US Southeast homes, we are convinced we have
100,000's of toxic US Southeast homes."
Is Toxic Chinese Drywall A National Problem?
Yes-However there is a problem with discovering US States-outside of
the extreme US Southeast with toxic Chinese drywall. The Chinese
Drywall Complaint Center is saying,
"We
now think that the reason we have found so much toxic Chinese
drywall in the extreme US Southeast is high heat, combined with high
humidity. We believe the high heat-high humidity combination in the
US Gulf States, and Virginia may be the cause of the imported
Chinese drywall-off gassing, which causes AC coil failures, metal
deterioration, copper that turns black, electrical issues in the
homes, combined with upper respiratory issues, nose bleeds,
headaches for most homeowners, or their family members. Because the
US Northeast, Mid West & or the Western half of the US do not have
high thresholds of humidity, and heat; severe metal deterioration
may not occur in homes with Chinese drywall, but the homeowners may
still
be sick. The group is trying to determine the best ways to discover
toxic Chinese drywall in the US Northeast, Mid Atlantic, Mid West,
and West. As this information is determined, the Chinese Drywall
Complaint Center will update its web site immediately.
The Chinese Drywall
Complaint Center Difference
The
Chinese Drywall Complaint Center will spend as much time as needed
with any existing homeowner in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Virginia, and Southeast Texas attempting to determine if
their home, or property contains toxic Chinese drywall. There is no
charge for this service.
Imported Chinese & Toxic US Made Drywall Time Frames
We believe toxic Chinese drywall was being imported into the US
Southeast as early as 2001. The primary states were Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, and Southeast Texas. We
also believe, that if toxic Chinese drywall was being imported into
the US Southeast as early as 2001, it
probably was being imported into all other areas of the United
States. However, without
high thresholds of heat, and humidity-we think toxic Chinese drywall
is much more difficult to identify, or discover. The US Consumer
Products Safety Commission has identified toxic Chinese drywall in
over 40 plus US States. We think the peak periods of toxic Chinese
drywall usage at least in the US Gulf States were 2004-2007. In
October of 2010 we discovered our first home in California, that
contained toxic Chinese drywall

What Types
Of Toxic Chinese Drywall Is A Priority Of The Chinese Drywall
Complaint Center? Is China standing behind their toxic Chinese
drywall products?
There
are two types of toxic Chinese drywall that are priorities for the
Chinese Drywall Complaint Center:
Knauf Tianjin: Knauf is the largest drywall maker in the world. Knauf is
a closely held German company. Knauf Tianjin was exported from China
and distributed to the states of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, and Texas between 2005, and 2006. The Chinese Drywall
Complaint Center believes Knauf Tianjin is in at least 100,000 homes
in the US Southeast. The new problem-On February 7th 2013 a federal
court in New Orleans approved a global settlement for homeowners,
whose home contained Knauf Tianjin toxic Chinese drywall. Based on
court records only about 5500 homeowners were included in this
settlement.
The Chinese
Drywall Complaint Center will continue to attempt to identify
homeowners who have a home that contains Knauf Tianjin toxic Chinese
drywall to the federal court in New Orleans, or to Federal Appeals
Courts that hopefully will reopen the timeframe to get all Knauf
Tianjin homeowners identified. Because so many of these homes are
now foreclosures owned by US taxpayer funded Fannie Mae, the group
believes Knauf Tianjin should be forced to pay for the repair of
home foreclosures now owned by this taxpayer supported federal
organization.
Taishan:The
other major exporter of toxic Chinese drywall to the US is Chinese
state owned Taishan toxic Chinese drywall. Toxic Taishan Chinese
Drywall was distributed to homebuilders in Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, and California. The Chinese
Drywall Complaint Center estimates that at a minimum 100,000 US
homes contain Taishan toxic Chinese drywall. The Problem: For the
last four years the government of China has been unwilling to accept
responsibility for their toxic building product that was exported to
the United States. Without pressure from the United States
Department of State, or the Obama Administration the group doubts
much progress will be made on the Taishan litigation for impacted US
homeowners, and their families
