[The] defendant, a Chinese wallboard company, said simply removing the drywall and making selective repairs would suffice...
"This is not where we have to go in in big white space suits," he said. "This is a typical construction job."
The home could be fixed in three months, and there would be no lingering problems once the drywall was removed, Hayden said.
Dean Rutila, an engineer and remediation expert with Simpson Gumpertz & Heger, testified for the plaintiffs that corroded pipes, wiring and other materials could get worse over time if the house is not gutted. He said the materials and appliances should be replaced.

The Chinese wallboard company is reluctant to do anything but replace the drywall. They will surely resist any health and medical claims by homeowners affected by defective Chinese drywall.
