It also means that any sheetrock you use from now on is suspect.


More nonsense (like nearly everything you post). There is no reason at all to
be suspicious of sheetrock that was manufactured in the U.S. or Canada.


Tell us how to tell the difference between the good and the bad
sheetrock.


Your first clue should be the word(s) immediately following the phrases "Made
In" or "Product Of".


Chinese products regularly use false "made in the USA" labels.

Even if it is labeled Made in China does not make it bad.

Again...tell us how to tell the difference between the good and the
bad sheetrock.

The problem is harder than it looks.

The Chinese product was used years ago. The chance you'd find it in
a supply yard today is about the same as finding fire retardant
plywood, which was a defective prroduct produced in the USA in the
80's that lead to hundreds of millions in lawsuits.

When it comes time to sue, the usual procedure is to go after everyone
in the chain that was involved, assuming they have some assets or
insurance worthy of a claim, In this case that would seem to be the
builder, perhaps the sub, the supplier, importer, and manufacturer.
