Thousands of homes across America were constructed using defective Chinese drywall after a construction boom and repeated hurricane damage that was experienced between 2004 and 2007 created a shortage of domestically manufactured drywall.

Defective Chinese drywall causes a strong sulfur odor, reminiscent of rotten eggs, property damage and health problems like headaches, respiratory and sinus problems, nosebleeds and eye irritation. Homes constructed with defective Chinese drywall have been experiencing corroding electrical systems, heating and cooling systems and piping corrosion along with the health problems.

Over 100,000 homes are reported to be affected at this time and simply removing the defective Chinese drywall presents another problem. It has been reported that the removal procedure can actually release more toxic gases if not done properly.

Insurance companies are reportedly dropping homeowners or not renewing their homeowners insurance policies based on the presence of defective Chinese drywall in their homes. The defective product attorneys at The Cochran Firm are aggressively pursuing the international companies, builders and insurers involved in this complex issue for their clients.
