Dec. 9, 2009 – The early December deadline to join in the Omnibus Complaint in the Chinese drywall MDL litigation may have passed, but it’s not too late to file a claim for Chinese drywall problems. While those who met the deadline may get a faster resolution of their claim than those who file later, the court is still accepting cases for people with Chinese drywall claims. People with Chinese drywall problems can still get a home inspection, and a free Chinese drywall lawsuit review, by calling the Chinese Drywall Attorney Alliance at 1-800-509-5357. Another way to get help is to complete the Chinese drywall lawsuit review form on the Chinese Drywall Attorney Alliance website (www.ChineseDrywallAttorneyAlliance.com).

Organizers of a Dec.5 rally for homeowners with defective Chinese drywall have hit on a unique way to help pay for the rally, while at the same time making their point, according to an Oct. 28, 2009 Ft. Meyers News-Press article. They’ve opened the Official Toxic Drywall Store, where you can buy items bearing a skull and crossbones and the slogan: “got toxic drywall? a headache that just doesn’t go away …”
There are T-shirts, tote bags, bumper stickers, even shoes, said Brenda Brinku of Alva, an organizer of the rally from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Shell Factory in North Fort Myers.
The purpose is to network, provide practical help and “to get our message out to congressmen that we’re serious. We need help now,” Brinku said.
The rally is focusing on children affected by sulfur compounds emitted by the drywall. “We’re concerned about our children’s health,” she said.
Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp, whose North Fort Myers home has chinese drywall, has pledged to be at the rally.

Chinese drywall problems are seen spreading to Mississippi and Louisiana, according to an article on HousingWire.com. The October 14, 2009 HousingWire.com article notes:
Many homeowners along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, whose properties were damaged during Hurricane Katrina, likely used Chinese drywall to make repairs. These rebuilding projects took place before the industry became aware that some types of Chinese drywall contained high levels of damaging chemicals that would corrode pipes, emit foul smells.
Although the original complaints about Chinese drywall problems began in Florida, it seems that victims of Hurricane Katrina may find themselves victimized again. The Chinese Drywall Attorney Alliance, with law firms across the U.S., is determined to use every available legal avenue to protect its clients against further victimization.
