China is killing us!!!!!!!!

NOW, it is drywall that is being put in new homes here.
This is going to cost builders a lot of money to replace and they are having a hard time as it is.
I check everything I buy to make sure it didn't come from there.

What's wrong with the drywall? I haven't heard about that one.

There is a component in it that is making people very sick.

I asked my builder husband about this, and he hasn't heard about it. He said all the drywall around here is gypsum board, and he doesn't think it comes from China.

If you have a link to something about the problem, please post.

I found this link http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/jan...fety-concerns/

It says most dry wall is made in the U.S., but during the hurricane building boom a couple years ago, some was brought in from China. That seems to be where the problems are showing up.
