(PRWEB) February 27, 2009 -- Americas Watchdog's Homeowners Consumer Center has been leading the national investigation of Chinese-made drywall, and by far has produced more information about the issues related to this product, than any other group, organization, or firm in the United States. Because of their trip to Florida this week, the group is now warning all affected homeowners in Florida, or any other state, to not sign any homebuilder agreement, before learning some of the possible new information about the potentially toxic Chinese drywall. According to the group, "we are now receiving medical information from physicians in Florida that some children living in homes with the potentially toxic Chinese drywall now have emphysema. We are also advising homeowners in Florida, or other states to not to sign any agreement for a re-drywall of the house with the home builder, until you talk with us." For more information homeowners in Florida who know, or suspect that they might have the potentially toxic Chinese drywall, should call the Homeowners Consumer Center at 866-714-6466, or visit the group's web site at Http://HomeownersConsumerCenter.Com.
