As much as I would like to believe scientific data that says CDW is not harmful long range.
I can not accept that as fact and would not sign off on anything that does not procure a means for long term consequences of exposurer.Were was the scientific community and are goverment officials in determining that asbestos was a hazard not only to workers but to the public as well. How long did it take to determine that smoking was not good for you or that second hand smoke is just as bad. The fact that most product manufactuers will always produce results that bad products have no long term health affects. As an owner of a CDW home ,one must certainly look at the gas but also on the particulite that was breathed in as well as ingested. The homes were constanltly releasing fine matter which was evident on all surfaces in the home,you could clean it and go back 20 minutes latter and have the same fine particles. Last on the agenda how many homes are involved, not only does no one have any idea ,but to give some credence to the topic just think if Lowes did infact sell drywall to the public think of how many small construction remodels can be added to the list. And although Lowes wants to settle their portion of which they claim they did not sell CDW why are they rushing to settle. When gas can accomplish distruction of a light fixture inside of 4 months I would say you have a very high concentrtion regardless of what the talking heads say.
I hear a train a coming and it certainly sounds like a railroading to me.

We moved from Alaska to Fort Bragg and moved into their new subdivision where there are over a thousand homes, We have never been as sick as we have been here, My 4 year old came down with a horrible rash on her face and body, Nose bleeds that she has never had, my husband in the past 5 months we have been here has just out of the blue for no Aparent reason thrown up 3 times, and has been having severe sweats, I have had an upper respitory Problem now for a month and the doctors can’t figure out why, Our 10 year old has had very bad headaches and sinus infections is what dr’s have been saying, Our 7 year old son has asthma syptoms, Our water smells like sulfer, and are ice in our fridge smells like someones rotten feet i have put in work orders for the water issue and they have came up with nothing, My treadmill Blows out all the power in the living room and its not all that powerfull, my husband and i are considering moving off base into different housing .. But with all this could this be do to chinese Drywall? we are not the only ones on our block having these issues there are tons of people getting sick just on our block…

I went on vacation a week and the last 3 days all sickness was about gone. I had to be rushed to ER back in Oct. due to nit able to breath much at all. Chest pains, weakness. I still am very sick with treatment for asthma. 9 medicinces and 2 breathing machines. One at night and every 4 hours a day. Still getting worst. But, Dr. still believe asthma but just yesterday are confused cause I should be better by now. Eyes run and are very red.

I would like to know if I puchased a house with that defective drywall and gutted it myself, would I be able to just put it in a dumpster to be taken to the local landfill or are their laws or regulations against that.

Hi,
I am from a Lennar build community in windemere, after we moved in here. We definetely experienced health problems. Repiratory problems among all the family members. Eye irritation, when we use the humidifiers in the house. Nose bleeds have become very common. All of our teeth started getting discolored and cavities suddenly. Severe cough, which I never had my life time. Kids vomited for no reason and suddenly they were alright. Our heater broke few times. When we called for repairs, they said the wiring was not done properly. We could not understand. We need help on someone coming and testing the problem of drywall exists in our newly 2008 built house.

i just purchase a forecloser home in the high desert in Califorina, I have been in the house just about five weeks now, I drilled into the drywall to put in molly screws to hang curtains and every room I have done this in there is a smell like a dead animal and it lasts for a couple of days, once when I turned the heater on and I thought it was coming from the air ducts, but I hung curtains in two more bedrooms last night and the same stinking smell started all over again, is this anywhere near being the drywall they are talking about from China, It is a very bad smell almost like smelling rotten eggs but I think it is worst than that..desperate to find out.
