I suggest that you do your homework.

This is the first that I have heard of this and have not had the time to review any of the information about this product.

Realtors be advised that this may be another hurdle to clear.

Anyone knowing anything about this product please share the information here. I will try to research this on my own and will post updates should I find any.

Again anyone who has knowledge about this please post it here.

Remember how something is called out and how you put it in a request to remedy could make or break your deal!!!!

Mike it is true. I wrote a blog on it a few weeks back after doing some research for a client.

Thank you Scott. Do you know where it was sold?

FEB

Home Depot, 84 Lumber and local distributors across the country had access to it. If drywall was in short supply for an area between 2004-06 then it might have been used. Report of it being found in Arizona and in the Carolina's are indicating that is not just a Florida issue. However, it looks like Florida was ground Zero for it's arrival to the country.

Scott

Thank you.

The demo has just been started on my house. The receipts pointed back to 84 Lumber where it was purchased by the builder.
