Wasn't there some kind of health risk problem that arose a few years

Yes, it was a huge problem in high humidity areas like Florida. The
Chinese drywall had a high sullphur content which released sulphuric
acid vapor under the right conditions. That was not only a health
hazzard but also corroded copper wiring and pipes. The only
remediation was to strip out all of the drywall and rebuild the
interior, a very expensive proposition as you can imagine.

I believe I read that some of it contained Formaldehyde as well...

Were the cops supposed to just say "Oh you don't want to be arrested?
OK then Off you go".On Thu, 26 Jan 2017 08:10:23 -0800 (PST), Tim

Particle board is crap, even if they bake the formaldehyde out.
