If a homeowner purchased a new home, or condominium after 2000, has blackened, or charred electrical wires inside an interior electrical receptacle, there is a good chance they have the imported toxic Chinese drywall. The product was first introduced to the US in late 2000 or early 2001 and was primarily used in new US subdivisions, condominiums or home remodeling jobs.
Homeowners could suffer from severe respiratory issues, headaches and nosebleeds. Homes may have a sulphur (rotten eggs) type of smell and air conditioning coils, stove top oven elements and refrigerators may fail at an excessively high rate.
