Removing Chinese Drywall Only is Not Enough

Earlier this month a Chinese wallboard company told U.S. District Judge Eldon E. Fallon that removing its drywall is sufficient to remedy the problem.  However, according to the National Association of Home Builders:

[The] repair procedures outlined by the home builders are similar to what the committee of plaintiffs attorneys has proposed in Judge Eldon Fallon's courtroom in New Orleans. Rather than some cheaper air-filtration and drywall treatments that others have suggested, the home builders association advocates ripping out drywall, plumbing and possibly wiring, paying for families to temporarily relocate, and allowing homes time to air out after being gutted.
