Particularly, homeowners associations are finding themselves having to cling to hopes for legislation aimed at helping their situations. Bankruptcy has become a common and unfortunate necessity for far too many Americans. Luckily, there is actually quite a bit of legislation on the drawing boards of Congress, some more realistic than others.
Adding to the numerous suits alleging that homes contain defective Chinese drywall, comes a class action filed in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Las Vegas Sun has reported that two neighborhoods are allegedly the subject of the suit. Unsurprisingly, the builder denies using Chinese drywall – however, American drywall has also been the subject of some consumer complaints.
The process of investigating the chain of commerce is complicated, but at this point, the CPSC has conclusively stated that it has confirmed 6,211,200 sheets of Chinese drywall imported into the United States. To aid in the investigation, the agency is hiring temporary staff to help with the monumental task of providing consumers with more information – information which will eventually determine whether liability exists, and on whose shoulders it shall be placed.
