"We're still in the home," said Tatum Hernandez, who works at the U.S. State Department's passport agency in New Orleans. "If we moved out, we would still have to pay the mortgage."
The Hernandez family's situation will be heard in court this week in a test case in the Chinese-Manufactured Drywall Products Liability Litigation in federal court in New Orleans. The trial will concern property damage issues; questions of health issues related to problem drywall will be handled in a later phase of the litigation.
Another test case involving several Virginia families took place last month, but the manufacturer, Taishan Gypsum Co. Ltd., blew off the proceedings...
A company profile page for Taishan Gypsum Co. Ltd. states "The high-speed development of the company will devote much more to the reform of new wall material in China."
From their profile, 'reform' could mean 'greener' ... or possibly, less toxic.
