Drywall investigation moves to China

The investigation of the use of tainted Chinese drywall will move to what investigators believe is the source of the problem. The Consumer Product Safety Commission noted in its August update that it has received approval from the Chinese government to arrange for an investigative visit beginning on Aug. 17. The agency said it has received 202 more incident reports related to Chinese drywall in July, raising the total to 810 reports. It also has reports from two new states, Pennsylvania and South Carolina, bringing the total to 23 states and the District of Columbia. The agency said that, to date, it has confirmed that more than 6.2 million sheets of Chinese drywall were imported into the United States and more than 28,000 sheets were imported into Guam, Saipan and American Samoa during 2006.
