Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin is one of the biggest manufacturers of defective Chinese drywall. Most of the defective and toxic drywall was imported into the United States between 2005 and 2007. Due to the large scale rebuilding efforts on the Gulf Coast after Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ivan and other storms, builders imported drywall from China because there was not enough domestic drywall for their needs. However, corrosive Chinese drywall is not limited to only the Gulf Coast States, but has been found in places such as Virginia. Unfortunately, most of this Chinese drywall is toxic, corrosive and defective.
Evidence of homes containing toxic Chinese drywall includes repeated AC coil failures, electrical issues, appliance failures, corroded wiring, tarnished fixtures and sulfur odors. Many toxic Chinese drywall homeowners are also afflicted with respiratory issues, nose bleeds, headaches and/or unexplained rashes. Those homeowners who previously experienced asthma or allergy problems have reported that their symptoms are much worse than before they moved into their Chinese drywall homes.
To be included in this Complaint, a homeowner must obtain evidence or indicia of Knauf Plasterboard (Tianjin) Co. Ltd. (“KPT”), Knauf Plasterboard, (Wuhu) Co. Ltd. (“Wuhu”), or Guangdong Knauf New Building Materials Products Co., Ltd (“Dongguan”) as the drywall manufacturer (photos, inspection reports, etc.). Typically, these Knauf entities marked their drywall with the words “Knauf” or “Knauf-Tianjin” in dot matrix print markings.
If you believe you have defective Chinese drywall manufactured by Knauf in your home and you suffer from the above mentioned home and health problems, please contact me immediately. This may be your last chance to be included in the MDL and you must act now.
