Officials are looking into claims that Chinese-made drywall installed in some Florida homes is emitting smelly, corrosive gases and ruining household systems such as air conditioners, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says
Gas emitted from defective drywall corrodes copper wiring, turning it black, some Florida homeowners say
The Florida Health Department, which is investigating whether the drywall poses any health risks, said it has received more than 140 homeowner complaints.
And class-action lawsuits allege defective drywall has caused problems in at least three states -- Florida, Louisiana and Alabama -- while some attorneys involved claim such drywall may have been used in tens of thousands of U.S. homes
Homeowners' lawsuits contend the drywall has caused them to suffer health problems such as headaches and sore throats and face huge repair expenses
The drywall is alleged to have high levels of sulfur and, according to homeowners' complaints, the sulfur-based gases smell of rotten eggs and corrode piping and wiring, causing electronics and appliances to fail
It's economically devastating, and it's emotionally devastating," said Florida attorney Ervin A. Gonzalez, who filed one of the lawsuits.
It would cost a third of an affected home's value to fix the dwelling, Gonzalez said
The interior has to be gutted, the homeowners have to continue paying mortgages, and they have to pay for a [temporary] place to live," Gonzalez said
The CPSC has been investigating claims in Florida for more than a month, according to commission spokesman Joe Martyak.
He would not confirm whether CPSC is checking other states or reveal how many cases it is probing
The Florida complaints generally involve homes built or renovated in 2005 and 2006, when a building boom and post-hurricane reconstruction caused a U.S. drywall shortage that spurred builders to turn to imports, Martyak said
The allegations come after a number of recent safety problems with other Chinese exports, ranging from toys to pet food
