James and Maria Ivory's dreams of a relaxing retirement on Florida's Gulf Coast were put on hold when they discovered their new home had been built with Chinese drywall
So the lesson here is don't build your Ivory tower out of Chinese drywall? OK sorry for the pun, but why are we importing drywall. There are massive deposits of gypsum here in the US. And the paper backing probably comes from trees grown in the US. That would be like people in the Powder River Basin importing coal.

Waking up in the morning to the scent of frying eggs and sizzling bacon is one thing.
The smell of rotten eggs emanating from your walls . . . well, that’s another thing altogether.

Just bought some backer board for a new kitchen countertop. I insisted on USG and
still double-checked the label to guarantee US manufacture.
Imported wallboard products? That's just crazy.

Did not read the article but did it mention who distributed the drywall? I think there is some responsibility there. Nothing irks me more than only cheap China made stuff being available when I got look for a tool.

The insurance companies appear to be correct. They should not be required to provide warranty service.
On the other hand, any builder who chose to purchase drywall from China should be pushing a shopping cart around containing the remainder of his possessions by this time next month.

ah - and why was this product not tested before being allowed to be so widely used?
And surely, contractors must have smelled the ‘rotten egg’ odor - and who, in Florida, isn't familiar with that being the odor of sulfur? So much of Florida's well water smells like that.
The gov't won't be interested in helping these people - unless they're predominantly 'not white."

Chinese Drywall, the Asbestos of the 21st. Century

To refer to what happened as terrorism is simply preposterous. I guess for you people jumping on Sep 11 from the 82nd floor of the WTC and the couple encountering a problem with drywall are both victims of terrorism. Do you have any morals left, Mr. Conservative?

“Chinese drywall that emits sulfuric fumes and corrodes pipes”
Ah, our Chinese friends that the international corporation boys want to “outsource” to.
And we are the ones who end up taking it up the “pipes”.

What the hell is wrong with this country ?
We keep bringing in deadly, defective products from China, and Americans pay the price.
I wish Nixon had never gone to China.
