The first Chinese drywall lawsuit begins this month and here is some good information: http://www.chinese-drywall-.... People living with Chinese drywall have suffered eye, respiratory, and sinus problems that may be linked to the gases emitted from defective Chinese drywall that produce a sulfurous odor and causes metals—air conditioning coils, silverware, jewelry—to corrode. Some 500 million pounds of Chinese drywall was imported into this country since the late 1990s, impacting about 100,000 homes.

An FDA advisory panel just recommended that the warning for Covidien’s Optimark and GE’s Omnisca—drugs in the family of medications known as gadolinium-based contrast agents (DBCAs)—be updated to restrict their use in patients with severe kidney disease because of the potential for an increased risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). NSF causes thickening of the skin and organs. GBCAs carry a strong “black box” warning. This site has good information on this issue: http://www.gadolinium-mri.c...

Re: Chinese Drywall Problem

Cynthia111 — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:50:06 -0000

The issue with Chinese drywall has gained the attention of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, which has already received some 1,500 complaints from homeowners nationwide.

The gases emitted from defective Chinese drywall produce a sulfurous odor that permeates homes, and cause metals, including air conditioning coils and even jewelry, to corrode. The gases have also been linked to significant property damage, including damage to HVAC systems, smoke detectors, electrical wiring, metal plumbing components, and other household appliances.

People living with Chinese drywall have also suffered eye, respiratory, and sinus problems that may be linked to the gases.

It is believed that about 500 million pounds of Chinese drywall was imported into this country since the late 1990s, impacting about 100,000 homes. This site—chinese-drywall-answer.com—has a lot of good information and resources for consumers affected by this defective product.

A sticker was recently added to Super Poligrip denture adhesive packaging that refers consumers to “New Information” inside the box. The information advises users about zinc in Super PoliGrip and potential health problems linked to its use.
Some believe the information is misleading and could even lead to more problems. Zinc in denture creams has been linked with an array of neurological issues, such as neuropathy, copper depletion, and other serious neurological effects.
The new Super PoliGrip package insert also cautions users to talk with their doctor if they use zinc supplements, warning that excessive amounts of the adhesive over a long period of time could result in "serious health effects."
Ingesting even small amounts of Super Poligrip has been found to be harmful; people who used normal amounts of Super Poligrip, and who swallowed small amounts of the product, suffered from zinc poisoning and neurological problems.
Here is a site that is very informative and offers some help: http://poligrip-lawsuit.com...

Interesting blog. I've been looking at elder and senior care and keep coming across issues involving denture creams and neurological problems. It seems that some popular creams are involved and lawsuits are beginning to be filed. I found a site that is sponsored, I believe, by an attorney group, but that has some good health and legal information: http://www.denturecreamlawy... I hope this is of help to your readership.

Defective Chinese drywall has been causing homeowners and their families to deal with sulfur fumes that smell like “rotten eggs” and cause air conditioning coils to corrode as well as sinus and respiratory ailments, eye and skin irritation, persistent runny or bloody noses, headaches, and asthma. Some situations have become so severe that residents have had to vacate their homes. In some cases, victims have been harassed by builders into signing unfair, one-sided remediation agreements. I found a pretty good blog that has been providing valuable information on the problems: www.chinese-drywall-answers...
