Chinese Drywall Could Be Cause Of Illnesses Port St. Lucie Residents Complain Of Strange Odor WPBF-TV updated 3 minutes ago PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - Some families on the Treasure Coast complained on Thursday about potentially dangerous drywall in their homes. From afar, the well-manicured palm trees in the Promenade condominium complex at Tradition are eye-catching. But some of the residents in those buildings said they're worried about what could be hiding inside their walls. "It smells like sulfuric (acid) with ammonia," said tenant Marie Martin. "It's like a musty kind of (odor)," tenant Christy Exizian said. It's not just the smell causing concern. Martin and her family moved out of another unit at the complex because they said something was affecting their health. "When we were in that unit, we had bloody noses, coughs, red eye itching, we couldn't breathe," Martin said. "It was like an upper-respiratory infection." Exizian just moved in this week and has a 10-year-old daughter with asthma "Ours has allergies and asthma and just called me sick from school today, and now I'm getting worried," she said. Howard Ehrsam is a Chinese drywall screener. He said the drywall could be the cause of the residents' problems. "The gases will react with copper and blacken the wires," he said. "It will even de-laminate mirrors and corrode faucets, anything that's metal to the corrosion effects." The complex is looking into the complaints. |

Drywall, Chinese Poisoned Drywall probably made with toxic land fill, should be dumped in Chinas harbors to feed their local fish to **** their people good. Chinese poisoned melamine in pet food, milk powder,baby food, anything with milk powder, and glycols in tooth paste, affects all of us and have killed maybe thousands and sickened near 200,000. Now lets see justice of the guilty, and the " easy Chinese Gov response" , hang em ALL as they killed my dog from Melamine. What poisons are we importing now? CHINESE Poisons , Google it, near 300 reported cases of crap poison come in every year and customs cant track ****! ; [Drug war ??] ****in Chinese cheap ****. Buy USA Bomb china |

Hmmm, Made from horse dung, no wonder. I thought U.S. has lax financial/banking regs. But building industry has same problem? Up here in Canada not a bank failed as of now. No foreclosures on houses. What's going on? Chinese even makes fake eggs(a known fact). |

Anyone who shops on price only and complains about low quality/adulterated/harmful products only has themselves to blame. |

Then they even think electing a semi-savior is the answer. |

Ground Zero for this mess is right down the road from me. Lennar Homes used a bunch of this stuff in Cape Coral and they were the first community to actually have the problem investigated. It turns out the chinks were using fly ash from dirty coal (high sulfur) power plants. The drywall is definitely the cause. The problem could be the fault of the contractors for not sealing the drywall properly on all six sides before installation. ANd this is done with ANY drywall, by ANY contractor in North America??? NOOOOO!!! |

I do love those pro Wal Mart commercials.

We have 401k's and social security, No need to be a burden on our betters.). "We may be able to survive another 8 to 10 years selling each other unsafe Chinese merchandise, insurance (for those who can afford it), hamburgers and mowing each other's lawns. What we will do after that we don't know but thank God for Wal Mart. It may eventually devastate the US economy," Note the current conditions, "but at least we get items cheaply. Ya Hoo!" |

Then Wal Mart came to town. We are so excited that we have jobs now.", They pay $8.00/ hour with no benefits as opposed to the factory jobs that paid $12.00/ hr with health ins, vacation and a pension (we don't need no stinking pensions. We have 401k's and social security, No need to be a burden on our betters.). "We may be able to survive another 8 to 10 years selling each other unsafe Chinese merchandise, insurance (for those who can afford it), hamburgers and mowing each other's lawns. What we will do after that we don't know but thank God for Wal Mart. It may eventually devastate the US economy," Note the current conditions, "but at least we get items cheaply. Ya Hoo!" Walmart provides health insurance through Bluecross Blueshield of Ill to employees there over 1 year ,both part time and full time...Part time , employee and kids about 30 bucks a month... Full time employee , spouse and kids about 70 bucks a month. It includes perscriptions eye and dental..1000 dollar deductable , 500 dollar healthcare credit BEFORE deductable and 5000 dollar MAXIMUM out of pocket expenses... Part time to full time as positions open with good reviews...They also have quarterly bonuses based on store profits , 401K , stock purchase plan , sick days , personal days , paid holidays , paid vacations after 5 years, 10 % discount on store purchases , free membership to Sam's Club (cheap gas) , Life and disability insurance , 1 dollar an hour extra for Sunday work..Typical employee with good reviews after 2 years 10-12 bucks an hour...NO UNION DUES...You really shouldn't believe the leftist union propaganda that you read and talk to someone who works there...You wouldn't make such an ass of youself...The rest of your dribble is just bull****...My wife works at Walmart for the health insurance because I'm self emloyed and don't have it..The cheap gas for my work truck and 10% off is nice too....Saves us about 10 grand a year or more counting the health insurance...Not to mention the extra 1400 a month spending money...Ya Hoo....Assclown.... |
