Thousands of homes in South Florida and across the United States contain defective Chinese drywall that was imported into this country during a domestic drywall shortage between 2004 and 2007 that was brought about by a combination of a housing boom and hurricane damage in the southeast.

The defective Chinese drywall contains excessively high concentrations of sulfur which is identifiable by a very distinct odor reminiscent of rotten eggs, which can destroy your homes’ electrical systems, plumbing, heating and cooling units and other metals such as appliances and jewelry. In addition, and perhaps even more frightening, is the incidence of various health problems caused by the noxious fumes.

An ever increasing number of defective Chinese drywall lawsuits have been filed in Florida on behalf of the homeowners who have suffered health problems and have had to abandon their homes or have had to remove the defective Chinese drywall, have had to replace heating and cooling units, wiring, plumbing and appliances at great expense and hardship.

The experienced defective product attorneys at The Cochran Firm have been aggressively pursuing the international companies, builders and insurers involved in this complicated litigation with great success.
