At the same time, the group is urging homeowners in Southeast States, Texas or Virginia whose home, subdivision or condominium, is known to have Chinese drywall, to check to see if the manufacturer is Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin. The group is saying, "identifying Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin is critically important, because the federal judge in New Orleans has given homeowners until December 2nd to be identified, or they may end up out of luck." For more information please contact the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://ChineseDrywallComplaintCenter.Com (PRWeb Nov 10, 2009)
