Builder files lawsuits in Chinese drywall case
Lennar Corp. has filed a major lawsuit against a lengthy list of manufacturers, suppliers and installers whose products or services were used by the company in the construction of its homes carrying Chinese drywall.
The suit from the Miami-based home builder over the drywall issue comes on top of two class-action suits filed on behalf of homeowners in Sarasota County and North Fort Myers.
Gases being emitted from the Chinese-made drywall have been tied to corrosion eating away at the guts of people’s homes. Some Southwest Florida residents say the gases also have been harmful to their health, a charge the builders and manufacturers dispute.
