Fear and Uncertainty Grows As Tainted Drywall Surfaces

As the number of new homes and condominium communities affected by tainted drywall continues to rise, fear and uncertainty among residents, owners and potential buyers in Southwest Florida are growing.

One domestic drywall maker has been sued while another has an ongoing squabble with a Fort Myers couple over what is causing Chinese-drywall-like symptoms in their home.
