“Lennar stands alongside its homeowners as a victim” of those who allowed the defective drywall to be manufactured, supplied and installed in Lennar homes, the lawsuit claims. The defective drywall is suspected of corroding air conditioning coils and other interior fixtures in homes built between 2005 and 2007. Residents are voicing fears about possible long-term health effects of exposure to the drywall. Knauf Tianjin, the company most closely associated with the manufacture of the defective drywall, is named as a main defendant along with its international parent company, Knauf Gips, based in Germany. For the first time, another manufacturer of Chinese drywall is also named in the lawsuit, Taishan Gypsum Co. Ltd. The lawsuit states that there may be others that exported the drywall to the United States. Also named as defendants are 20 others, including USG, the largest supplier of drywall in the United States, based in delaware.; and 17 Florida corporations that supply or install drywall, including five drywall installers based in Lee County. The lawsuit alleges negligence and product liability.

Thousands of homeowners who bought houses with Chinese drywall have filed hundreds of lawsuits against builders, suppliers and manufacturers. They complain that off-gassing from the wallboard is corroding everything from air conditioning coils to TVs, jewelry, appliances and plumbing — and making them ill. While a federal interagency task force continues to investigate, sporadic reports are surfacing from homeowners complaining of the same corrosive and health symptoms, but in houses constructed with American drywall. Several lawsuits have now been filed against American manufacturers. Those companies say their wallboard isn’t tainted. Brenda and George Brincku have a 3,150-square-foot dream home in Alva that they purposely built with American drywall to avoid any problems.

Rothchilt is the trading company, based in Taiwan and Hong Kong, that exported the Knauf Tianjin drywall to the United States and elsewhere, where it was then distributed to various suppliers. On Monday, Knauf Tianjin charged in a written statement that the company is being unfairly targeted as the villain in the case. The company says it only manufactured about 20 percent of the plasterboard that was imported from China into the United States. Most of the other 80 percent came from Chinese manufacturers who did not label their products with a company name, the statement said. Knauf Tianjin hired a consulting environmental testing firm from Arkansas that says their product is safe and that human breath has a much higher concentration of sulfur compounds than that emitted by the drywall. Yet, "Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co. Ltd. has borne the full brunt of the recent controversy over imported plasterboard, simply because KPT (Knauf Tianjin) has been trying to responsibly work with homebuilders to address their complaints," the company stated.

This means a morass of claims and counter-claims, builders against suppliers and manufacturers, consumers against builders, suppliers and manufacturers, "and of course, suppliers vs. manufacturers," Weinstein said.
