During the building boom that took place just after the millennium, a number of builders used drywall manufactured in China as materials in home construction. At the time, this seemed like a cheap and effective method of procuring necessary construction materials. It wasn't until recently that it was discovered that a combination of the chemicals present in Chinese drywall can cause severe illness, including adverse effects on:

- Growing children
- Sense of vision, touch and smell
- Cardiovascular systems
- Eyes
- Kidneys
- Liver
- Skin

Equally important is the fact that the chemicals that make Chinese drywall so dangerous can be transferred from the built elements in an affected home to other structural parts and personal belongings that are within the home.

There is still some debate regarding the exact origin of the faulty Chinese drywall that has been brought into the USA and used in homes, but those families who suspect their home may have been built using these toxic, dangerous parts need to be able to protect themselves - particularly their children and older relatives, who are in general the ones most affected. This can include having homes inspected, contacting builders to have the drywall and other contaminated parts of a home replaced, and even filing as part of single-family or class action suits and participating in litigation against both manufacturers of and builders who use Chinese drywall.

If you suspect that your home may be contaminated by Chinese drywall - either because someone in your home is manifesting the above listed symptoms, or because of a strange smell (some report the scent of ammonia or rotten eggs in their home, both of which have been found to be results of Chinese Drywall's presence) then it's important to contact an attorney immediately to discuss your options for restoring your home as a safe haven for you and your family. Chinese drywall attorneys can help you navigate the complicated maze of regulations and laws regarding your home and its warranty, your family and their health, the medical treatment of those family members who may have been adversely affected, the manufacturers who provided the materials, and most importantly, the builders who used them in the construction of your home.
