The Consumer Product Safety Commission has launched a new Drywall Information Center to help homeowners keep track of the agency's investigation into toxic drywall manufactured in China. The center also has information that can help consumers determine if their homes were built with the contaminated product and can take their complaints.
The CPSC has received 365 reports from 18 states, including Florida, of houses that may contain the drywall. The building material emits sulfur gas that many believe is making people sick, and corroding electrical fixtures and wiring.
Go here to take a look at the new Drywall Information Center, and for details on the investigation. And you can click here to file a report with the CPSC. Or call 800-638-2772.
The Florida Attorney General also has advised consumers to be aware of phony drywall testing services, inspections and products. To file a complaint about a suspicious activity, call the state's fraud hot line at 866-966-7226 or go here.
