More from Mary Wozniak from the Fort Myers, FL News Press, January 20, 2009, Lennar replaces Chinese drywall in homes
Residents inhabiting a dozen Southwest Florida homes are being relocated so the builder, Lennar Homes, can rip out Chinese drywall that corrodes interior fixtures and may cause long-term health hazards.
Lennar is paying all costs of relocation for the residents, including lodging, and some have already moved, according to a statement from Darin McMurray, Lennar division president.
In addition, Lennar Homes has identified 80 of its homes in Southwest Florida that appear to contain the suspect drywall and is investigating 40 more, McMurray said.
Large residential construction companies wouldn’t be taking these steps if the problems weren’t real. This story continues to develop.

Why on earth is our government still doing business with China – are they waiting till China kills us all ???
No kidding – I know they buy our debt but we don’t owe our lives to them for gods sake and it seems that EVERYTHING they make is contaminated. . . . . .
I’ve had it – we need to get back to manufacturing our own products again……..
