(PRWEB) February 24, 2009 -- Americas Watchdog's Homeowners Consumer Center is leading a national investigation into what could be toxic imported Chinese dry wall that began showing up in the United States in 2001. Aside from Florida, and the eastern half of the U.S., the group has now found the imported Chinese dry wall in California, Arizona and Nevada in subdivisions & condominiums.
According to the group, "Finding the potentially toxic Chinese dry wall in large numbers of homes & condominiums was always expected on the West Coast, and in the Mountain States. It comes as no surprise to us, as even the largest U.S. homebuilders used undocumented workers to install the dry wall. So if there was a problem, or an issue with installing this building product who were they going to complain to? We have been warning about who built your house for years."
If you are a homeowner in California, Arizona or Nevada and you have had the symptoms associated with the potentially toxic Chinese dry wall, you can call the Homeowners Consumer Center anytime at 866-714-6466 or contact the group via their web site at Http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.com.
