Chinese Drywall Removal Recommended

Two federal agencies recommended jointly Friday that home owners affected by Chinese-made drywall replace it.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission investigated the problem and concluded that the rotten egg smells and damaged metal in homes with imported drywall are a danger and the drywall should be removed.

"Our investigations now show a clear path forward," CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum said in a press release. "We have shared with affected families that hydrogen sulfide (from the drywall) is causing the corrosion."

HUD and CPSC said they expected U.S. lawmakers will provide financial relief for affected home owners.
