National News is reporting more issues with Chinese Drywall:

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Jan. 14, 2010 - Louisiana's attorney general on Wednesday sued building supply manufacturers and developers over imported Chinese drywall that homeowners claim has damaged their homes and made them sick.

Attorney General James D. "Buddy" Caldwell said he filed a lawsuit in state court on Wednesday to help state and local governments recoup the cost of dealing with contaminated drywall. The suit names a slew of companies - from Chinese drywall manufacturers to home developers - as defendants.

"The state attorney general's office said enough is enough," Caldwell said at a news conference on the steps of the Louisiana Supreme Court in the French Quarter. "We've had too many catastrophes down here."

Reports of tainted Chinese drywall began to surface last year and homeowners who bought houses with the imported materials have filed hundreds of lawsuits against builders, suppliers and manufacturers.   What does this mean for Orlando home buyers?   Well it means that you will need to do your due dilligence when purchasing a home.   This is an important question you can ask of your home inspector, who will be able to guide you through the testing process.
