Milstein, Adelman & Kreger, LLP currently represents numerous homeowners throughout the United States who have or may have contaminated drywall imported from China installed in their homes. While the investigation is still evolving, there are several factors which may indicate the presence of contaminated drywall imported from China.
Many homeowners have reported the following symptoms which they suspect may be related to the presence of contaminated drywall:
• "Rotten Egg" or Sulfur smell in their homes
• Corrosion of Heating, Ventilation & Cooling (HVAC) coils and related components
• Corrosion of Electrical wires and/or plumbing pipes
• Corrosion of Metal items inside the homes (Light fixtures, metal frames, etc.)
• Shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, eye irritations, coughing and respiratory difficulties
It is suspected that the drywall installed in many homes was imported from China between 2001 and 2007. It is believed that the drywall was manufactured using waste products from coal plants and that it contains iron disulfide. Many experts believe that the drywall is emitting harmful gases including Hyrdogen sulfide, Carbonyl sulfide, Sulfur dioxide and Carbon disulfide which are harmful to the buildings and to its occupants.
