    Florida had many reports last January. Occupants reported strong sulfer smells and damage to plumbing (corrosion) and electrical damage.

    Pretty sure it was Sheetrock brand (USG) or Georgia Pacific.

    Our 2007 townhome has Gold Bond wallboard. I know this because I took a picture of it during construction. :) According to the manufacturer, this wallboard does not contain any material from China: http://www.nationalgypsum.com/literature/Chn_drywall.pdf

    VM may well have used different brands at different times, though.

    I have heard from representatives from Van Metre assuring me that Van Metre does not use drywall imported from China. Below is a link to several documents from Van Metre's suppliers attesting to this fact.

    Should you have further questions please contact Roy Kane - Director of Van Metre Customer Care at rkane@vanmetrecompanies.com
