Chinese Drywall Not Linked To 11 Deaths Says CDC

Posted: 08 Feb 2011 05:42 AM PST

Chinese-drywallIf you have had Chinese Drywall installed at your home you have one less thing to worry about according to the CDC.

Dying.

According to research done at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia the Chinese Drywall did not contribute to the deaths of 11 people in Florida, Louisiana, and Virginia.

Large quantities of defective Chinese-made drywall were imported during a past housing boom and after a string of Gulf Coast hurricanes five years ago. The drywall has been linked to corrosion in thousands of homes, mostly in Florida, Virginia, Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.

The CDC found that seven of the 11 people who died had cancer and seven had heart problems. For the review, state medical examiners and the CDC probed 10 deaths in Louisiana and Florida—five in each state—and a single death in Virginia.

The deaths were reported to regulators as possibly being linked to drywall.

Still, federal regulators say the health risk of Chinese drywall remains a concern. via WSJ

Now if you still have Chinese drywall in your house, I would not be too thrilled. The drywall still has major issues regarding corrosion that has lead to trouble with electrical wiring.

And other health issues including nosebleeds, respiratory problems, and other symptoms have been occurring with greater frequency in homes that have had the inferior drywall installed.
