Gee, shouldn’t the people who sell these products be responsible for the products they sell? Is this not why we sell Product Liability Insurance? Should not the people who resell a product not have some responsibility? If the wholesaler said take this crap back, don’t you think someone would take responsibility in buying stuff? Don’t you think Home Depot would be concerned about their suppliers? don’t you think contractors would be concerned about redo? Why do we need useless legislation to let all the responsible parties off the hook?
I sell insurance, do you think i can use the excuse that I didn’t know what I was selling? I just picked up a loose policy and used it to solve a problem, I didn’t know the ink stunk, NOT MY PROBLEM?
This drywall is no different than plastic pipe leaks.
If the property owners can’t collect from bankrupt contractors, go up the chain.
And this is coming from an unabashed liberal!
Perfect comments, Dumb Founded! Why do we need MORE laws on the books when the existing ones are not enforced???
PS: Seems more like common sense than unabashed liberalism to me.
Should we expect anything less from the Chinese? They probably have no issue with a little sulphur in their drywall. They certainly have no issue with living in some of the most polluted conditions in the world. I’ll bet they’re scratching their heads wondering what we’re complaining about.
Good point. I think it was more of an issue of supply. Most of the Chinese drywall was used during the building boom in 2004/2005 when US drywall was in short supply.
I have this problem. Official inspection found all copper & silver turned black.
They didn’t test TV’s or computers. Any info about how the sulfur gas is affecting these electronics & appliances. I’m sure the warranties will not be of any value after being exposed.
Please forward any info/ testing of electronics.
Thanks Don
you would have thought that w/home depot and many other do-it-yourself home repair shops, would rather you purchase things made in the USA. Especially with the way that the economy is, why are we not spending money in the us for us products. here’s another good example of why we should not be getting products made from overseas, especially China. how many other products made from China have had to be recalled?

WOW, I can’t believe we can’t be competitive with the Chinese on drywall that is so heavy and expensive to ship here.

“Calcium SulfITE”, translated into Chinese and back literally, comes back as “Asia Calcium Sulfate”
So ironic, “Chinese Drywall” is literally contaminated with its namesake.. calcium sulfite, made from waste from chinese coal-fired power plants.
