"A federal judge has awarded more than $164,000 to a family whose home was
ruined by Chinese-made drywall.

"Tuesday's ruling by U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon comes less than a
month after he awarded $2.6 million to seven Virginia families. Fallon's
earlier decision was the first for a batch of federal lawsuits over
drywall-tainted homes.

"Fallon presided over a trial without a jury for the case brought by the
Hernandez family of Mandeville, La.

"He ruled all drywall must be removed and the home needs to gutted. He also
agreed that electrical wiring, plumbing components, the heating and air
conditioning system and appliances must be replaced. "
