Americas Watchdog's Homeowners Consumer Center is leading a national investigation
into what could be toxic imported Chinese dry wall that began showing up in
the United States in 2001. Aside from Florida, and the eastern half of the U.S.,
the group has now found the imported Chinese dry wall in New Orleans & Southeast
Louisiana.
According to the group, "we were based in New Orleans before, during and
after Hurricane Katrina, and we think we will find the Chinese dry wall all
over Orleans, Jefferson & Saint Bernard Parishes. If you are a homeowner
in Southeast Louisiana, and you have had the symptoms associated with the potentially
toxic Chinese dry wall, you can call the Homeowners Consumer Center anytime
at 866-714-6466 or contact the group via their web site at Http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.com.
What are the symptoms of the Chinese dry wall?
- There may be a rotten egg or sulphur type smell in the home or condominium.
- 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.
- Oven, or stove elements, or refrigerator coils may have failed in the homes,
or condominiums a number of times.
If a homeowners, a building owner or occupant of a home, a condominium, a town
home, office, retail or commercial property has had or seen any of these symptoms,
they should contact the Homeowners Consumer Center immediately at 866-714-6466,
or contact them via their web site at http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.com.
- The Homeowners Consumer Center fears the Chinese dry wall was used in the
post Hurricane Katrina metro area's of New Orleans, and the group wants to
hear from any and or all Louisiana or Texas residents that think this product
is in their home or condominium.
According to the Homeowners Consumer Center, "We think this will turn
out to be the worst product liability and environmental disaster faced by U.S.
homeowners ever. As we talk to people, it's so amazing, it's almost like they
never could have guessed that the potentially toxic Chinese dry wall could have
caused so many maintenance problems, and serious health issues in their homes,
or condominiums."
