Washington, DC (Vocus) January 9, 2010
The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is urging homeowners who might have confirmed Chinese drywall in their homes, check to see who made it. According to the group, "A specific type of drywall called Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co. Ltd., is one of the major manufacturers in the federal Chinese drywall litigation. The company has made a one-time offer to homeowners who sign up for the omnibus class action by January 15th, and show pictures or other proof that they have KPT drywall in their homes so they won't have to pay $15,000 to serve the company in China through the Hague Convention, according to an order issued by U.S. District Court Judge Eldon Fallon.
"Why is this such a big deal? The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center says. "We think this could be a gigantic step forward for U.S. homeowners who have Knauf Plasterboard Tiangin (a type of Chinese drywall) in their homes." The group continues, "A federal judge in New Orleans opened a huge window of opportunity for U.S. homeowners in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Southeast Texas or any other state, who have a specific type of Chinese drywall called Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin, in their homes or condominiums. The enormous problem for us is, we need to get the word out, and make certain the homeowner is identified and signed up before January 15th, 2010."
The group continues, "It is of the utmost importance we get the word out to as many homeowners as possible, who might have Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin in their homes--before the 1-15-2010 deadline."

Note: According to the Associated Press, "The homebuilder Lennar is suing Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin over building defects related to this product," and WCI has admitted to using this product in their securities filings. The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, "We think larger subdivisions in the metro areas of Orlando, New Orleans, Houston, Tampa/Saint Petersburg, Miami Dade, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Montgomery and Austin may not have even heard about the Knauf Tianjin drywall deadline of January 15 2010."
One question the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center gets asked frequently is what are the symptoms or indicators of toxic Chinese drywall in a home? The group says, "In Florida, the U.S. Southeast, Virginia or other states known to have toxic Chinese drywall, the four biggest symptoms/indicators of toxic Chinese drywall we hear are air conditioning coil failures, failed electrical appliances/flickering lights, black copper, combined with health side effects that include nonstop upper respiratory problems, to severe headaches, to nose bleeds, to all sorts of strange rashes." But what about that sulfur smell? The group says, "Some homes have the sulfur smell, some do not. We do not think that the smell of sulfur is necessarily the best indicator for toxic Chinese drywall. We think a far better indicator for homes, at least in Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Southeast Texas, Mississippi, Virginia or other humid, warm states are air conditioning coil failures, electrical problems, combined with all, or some of the homeowner's family are sick."

The Chinese Drywall Complaint Center is saying, "One thing we know for sure; if you know you have toxic Chinese drywall in your home, and it's called Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin, you need to get identified before January 15, 2010." The group is also begging homeowners in subdivisions or condominium projects where Knauf Tianjin drywall has been discovered to share this press release with their neighbors.
