An October 23, 2009 article in the Palm Beach Post describes one of the home inspections ordered by U.S. District Judge Eldon E. Fallon in New Orleans. Judge Fallon is presiding over the Multidistrict litigation involving toxic Chinese drywall. Judge Fallon has ordered the inspection of thirty homes nationwide.
The Post article describes the plight of Paul and Alli Sirota of Boynton Beach, Florida, whose $700,000 house was built using defective Chinese drywall. Health concerns drove the Sirotas from their home, but they were present when home inspectors looked for drywall markings or corrosion on electrical outlets, light switches, water heaters and air conditioners. The inspections do not address health considerations.
The court-ordered inspections are expected to wrap up soon, and the trials could begin as early as January.
