Americas Watchdog and its Homeowners Consumer Center are expanding their national investigation of imported toxic Chinese drywall into every US state, and every major US metropolitan area. The group has now identified numerous victims in Florida, California, Virginia, Arizona, Ohio, New Jersey, Georgia, Nevada, the Carolinas and Texas.
According to the group, "the imported Chinese drywall is coast to coast, and it is so toxic, that it will corrode air conditioning coils, and electrical wiring. This mentions nothing of the health affects related to exposure." The Homeowners Consumer Center is saying, "we think there is about to be a seismic shift from Florida, to the entire nation and in particular the West Coast. Most people we talk to never realized the problem with their home was the drywall. This is the worst environmental mess we have ever heard of." If you are a homeowner in a new home built since 2001 in any state, that has a rotten egg, or sulphur smell, and you have charred, or black electrical wires, you should contact the Homeowners Consumer Center immediately at 866-714-6466, or contact the via their web site at http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.Com.
According to the Homeowners Consumer Center, "we always expected to find very heavy concentrations of the Chinese drywall in California, Arizona, Las Vegas, the Pacific Northwest and the Mountain West, because most of the product was shipped through the ports of Long Beach, Oakland, and/or Seattle/Tacoma."
What should homeowners in these cities who have a new home built between 2001 and 2008 be looking for with respect to the Chinese Drywall?
- The house has to have been built or remodeled after 2000.
- There may be a rotten egg or sulfur-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, or black 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.
- Silver jewelry or silver plated utensils may be tarnished
A repeat special call out to our friends in New Orleans and all Gulf Coast States. "We were in New Orleans before, during and after Hurricane Katrina. The Homeowners Consumer Center fears the Chinese dry wall was used in the post Hurricane Katrina metro areas of New Orleans and Texas, 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." The toxic Chinese drywall could be super dangerous. If you know, or suspect it is in your house, please call the Homeowners Consumer Center at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via their web site at http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.com.
Americas Watchdog and its Homeowners Consumer Center are trying to get the word out about the Chinese drywall and the group is intensifying its state by state and national investigations to increase public awareness. According to the group, "if you have friends, family, co-workers or loved ones, who live in a new home built after 200, that has a sulphur, or rotten egg type smell, and or if the homeowners constantly complain about health issues, related to living in their new home, please share this press release with them and have them call us." Homeowners with questions about Chinese drywall exposure in their homes can call the Homeowners Consumer Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via their web site at Http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.Com.
