More Poison Chinese Goods! This Time It's Drywall.

Gee, it's been a while since I found a story of products from China that are poisoning Americans, but hey it's a new year!

The latest batch of tainted goods from China is that ubiquitous material , drywall. Seems we can't make enough drywall here in America (ironic statement for those who are irony impaired) so we have to import it from half way around the globe. But hey, it's cheap!

And the reason it's cheap is that it is made with substandard materials. The drywall board from China has a high sulfur content. So high that residents have noticed the smell and the following problems are happening with alarming frequency.

• Homeowners, building owners, or occupants in most cases will have seen continuous failures of their air conditioning coils, or HVAC units beyond anything normal.
  
• Homeowners, building owners, or occupants may have noticed corroded electrical wiring in their walls, in properties built, or remodeled since 2001.
  
• Homeowners, building owners or occupants may have experienced mild to severe upper respiratory problems, nose bleeds, headaches or other potentially serious medical conditions.
