Is your Alabama home permeated with the odor of rotten eggs? Have you had to make repairs or replace your home's plumbing, wiring, heating and cooling systems and appliances? Does your family suffer from irritated eyes, breathing problems, nose bleeds, nausea, vomiting and headaches that go away when you are gone from your home? If so, you may be a victim of defective Chinese drywall.

Thousands of homes throughout the United States, including Alabama, which were built between 2004 and 2007, contain defective drywall imported from China. The defective Chinese drywall contains dangerously high concentrations of sulfur which produces a rotten egg odor that can destroy your home’s electrical wiring, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, appliances, and jewelry and cause serious health problems.

Millions of sheets of defective drywall were imported from China into the United States during a domestic shortage caused by a housing boom that followed a series of hurricanes that struck the Southeast United States. More than six million sheets of defective Chinese drywall were imported in 2006 alone. Some of the worst defective Chinese drywall was found to emit one hundred times more sulfur as drywall manufactured in the United States. The defective product attorneys at The Cochran Firm are aggressively fighting the international companies responsible for this devastating problem for homeowners across the country.
