Attorney Scott Weinstein of Morgan & Morgan, PA Featured in California Lawyer Magazine

(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 31, 2009 ) Orlando, FL - Attorney Scott Weinstein of Morgan & Morgan, PA has been featured in Thomas Brom’s article, “Great Drywall of China,” which ran in the August issue of California Lawyer. The article recalls a scene in which Weinstein brought a sample of defective Chinese drywall to a litigation conference. As the sample was passed around the room, the sulfur fumes became strong and some attendees were reluctant to even touch the sample. Throughout the rest of the piece, quotes and insights from Weinstein reveal the struggles faced by homeowners whose homes were built with Chinese drywall, as well the challenges faced by the attorneys who are trying to recover compensation for them.

The Chinese drywall problem began during the housing boom of 2004-2007. U.S. drywall suppliers could not keep up with demand during this period, so thousands of homes across the country were built with wallboard imported from China. Studies have shown that the Chinese wallboard contains various sulfur compounds and ten times the amount of strontium that is found in drywall produced domestically. As a result, the drywall emits a strong sulfurous smell, similar to the smell of rotten eggs. It has also been alleged that the sulfurous gases corrode wiring, causing damage to air conditioning units and other electrical appliances.

The first Chinese drywall lawsuit was filed in February 2009, and hundreds more were filed in the following months. In June 2009, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an order centralizing In re: Chinese-Manufactured Drywall Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2047. The MDL consolidated at least ten Chinese drywall lawsuits in the Eastern District of Louisiana before Judge Eldon E. Fallon. Scott Weinstein has been named to the PlaintiffsÂ’ Steering Committee for the Chinese drywall MDL.
