Such symptoms include: nosebleeds, headaches, coughs, upper respiratory or sinus issues, rashes. The Homeowners Consumer Center believes that exposure to toxic Chinese drywall, and some of these medical symptoms are related, because homeowners in new homes in different parts of the country, different states, all share two things in common: 1) the fact that Chinese drywall is in their house, and 2) they have these medical conditions. In many cases not everyone in the family will share the same symptoms.

These symptoms appear only when living in the home and disappear after a period of time when on vacation or at work. Unfortunately, the symptoms return shortly after coming back home.

If you live in a home and suspect toxic Chinese drywall is present, you can call the Homeowners Consumer Center anytime at 866-714-6466 or contact the group via their web site at www.HomeownersConsumerCenter.com.
