Poison Chinese drywall destroys metal and your health. - Page 2 - Drywall Talk - Professional Drywall and Finishing Contractors Forum

Anyone in their right mind would know it's not the drywall contractors fault, it all falls on this BS Government who looks the other way when it comes to Chinese products. when you have Major stores like Home Depot Wal Marts etc.. these are the problem makers who buy the crap from China cause it's Cheap, these companys need to be held accountable

Drywall Tycoon · 04-20-2009, 11:38 PM

Any day now, you will see the attorney T.V. Ads asking if you have drywall in your house. If you think it has the crud in it call 555-555-5555.

They are already planning their class action suits. The home owner will get a few thousand dollars. The scum bag attorney will get millions. We will get a headache. I am sure they will try to drag in our liability insurance companies, if we used this crap.

Meanwhile Won Hung lo drywall manufacturer in China will say, In Chinese: My Drywall love you long time Joe.

And all the illegal immigrants that are coming to take our jobs. ( Yes even mine, even though I think I am legend). They are going to say a bunch of stuff we don't understand.

I guess this is what I get for being an arrogant American that grunted this Sheet on for all these years.

Spoke with someone "in the know" about this today. Rest assured, no drywall contractor will be held accountable, it will be the manufacturer, which is Knaupf (and USG is named as a defendent as Knaupf partly owns USG, I am told). The bad news is ALL the OTHER innocent makers will now use this as an excuse to gouge the living $#it out of every supply house and in turn all of us. The other bad news, some poison board made into south Kansas, somewhere south of Wichita. I have contacted all of my suppliers and have been given every assurance this board never made it to my jobs as would have been freight-cost-prohibitive. That said, again, who really knows?

I have received copies of disavowels from both National and USG. National's is posted on their site, while USG's appears to be in letter form sent to suppliers.

The republicans were in solid control at that time and for years afterward.

Pelosi is not the greatest but there is no way she could be as bad as the repubs that sent us into this depression. Thats right depression.

The IMF declared us to be in a depression the first week in February. That would be 2 weeks after Bush left office.

If the republicans are going to run around telling everyone they need to be responsible they need to take responsibility for sending us into a depression for the second time. Remember they controlled all (or almost all) of government back in 1929 too.

I'm glad to hear someone else make these points. Under Republican rule the Confederacy never lost and slavery was never abolished,just hidden under other techniques.

Yep, The bottom dropped out after a different group of people without proper visas destroyed the world trade center. Any fool that thought that would not affect the economy is out of touch.

I started working during the Jimmy Carter Recession in 1980. Interest rates hovered close to .20%. I didn't sit around and blame Jimmy. There was less work and higher unemployment than there is now. So the IMF must not have been around then or forgot about that depression. Yep the Dems had the house and Senate then too.

I believe the Democrats took control of the Senate in 2006. So much for your ancient history lesson. I don't think either party has helped us much.
The republicans spent record setting numbers. Albeit we were at war.
Now the Democrats are breaking all he spending records.

Bottom line is nobody is protecting our borders. Janet Napolotano says if you are anti illegal immigrant, Veteran of a foreign war or pro life you could be a terrorist.

Also I think a guy named Clinton signed the NAFTA.

Read the Audacity of hope. Its all in there. He says the American worker is screwed and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Get ready to start working at the Starbucks. ( if anyone can afford $ 3.00 a cup coffee).

We can argue over who did what for a long time. But when you bid a job against a contractor with 10 illegals in a van with tinted windows it will put you into an immediate recession.

Frankawitz · 05-16-2009, 08:36 AM

The thing about the Economy is think about this, way back when the Democrats Congress wanted minimum wage to be raised to its level it's at now $7.85. why would they want that, well let's look at the Auto workers and what is going on with them. Chrysler and GM are going down the tube, the unioins are going to take a pay cut, cause 66% of Americans believe these people make to much money. so if this is the plan of Obama to make Americans wages more in line with what the people of China make

Why is it we are seeing this happening in this Country, cause if you go back and listen to Obama he wants the Rich and Poor to be on the same plain where everyone is Equal across the board, I would say with the National Health Plan so everyone has Health care, sounds like Socialism, so if you can't get people to pay your wages what happens, you end up sitting hopeing work will pick up. Like I have been saying for Years the American Public needs to CLEAN OUT the Congress and the Senate. intil all the Good Ole Boys that means Democrats and Republicans are voted out, we will keep going down this path.

**Darren@Partners** · 05-16-2009, 09:11 AM

And didya see the news yesterday? Obama sez we can't keep spending so much of China's money. DUH!!! And Pelosi got called out for saying the CIA lied out waterboarding. The wheels are falling off the Obama-mobile. Dodd and Frank were behind the push to increase home ownership before Bush got in office. And now maybe we shouldn't release the photos of enhanced interogation. Truth commission? Puhleez!! You can almost see the puppetmaster's strings now!! Let's hope someone has a plan B.

Sir Mixalot · 05-24-2009, 10:54 AM

From the Consumer Product Safety Commission:
Consumers from at least 16 States and the District of Columbia have reported health symptoms or certain metal corrosion problems in their homes that may be related to drywall imported from China.The majority of the reports to the CPSC have come from consumers residing in the Stateof Florida while others have come from consumers in Louisiana, Virginia, Wisconsin,Ohio, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, California, Washington, Wyoming, the District of Columbia, Arizona, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and New York. Consumers largely report that their homes were built in 2006 to 2007, when an unprecedented increase in new construction occurred in part due to the hurricanes of 2004 and 2005.

Lot's of info here---------> Consumer Product Safety Commission

Its going to be a awhile until the drywallers start seeing those replacement jobs. No one knows whos going to be paying the drywallers besides the homeowners themselves.

Barry · 06-30-2009, 03:24 PM

Its nice how you can buy what you think is a good safe product one you might have been using for years, and then find out it can cause problems... If you now know you used the Chinese drywall, would you tell any of your customer of the possible issues? If it can make people sick and they have no clue where they are getting sick from, it could continue to be a problem to them.

**Darren@Partners** · 06-30-2009, 07:41 PM

WTF? Executive member?
