It appears that China was attempting to get rid of their coal ash problems by mixing it with the drywall compound. When the drywall is exposed to moisture, such as high humidity a chemical reaction starts. The result of this reaction is the production of Hydrogen Sulfide and Sulfuric acid gas. This is the rotten egg smell that is present with the drywall.

Nothing like the smell of rotten eggs, what you going to do when China seems to be financing the United States.

They also discovered toxic couches made in China.
There's poison in honey coming from China too.

We already know about the poison toothpaste, poison dog/cat food, poison toys, poison catfish, poison drugs and poison cookware.

I do believe the FDA is investigating but nothing conclusive yet.

Anyone think China is out to poison us ?

well at the rate they are buying our debt, if China's money turns out to be poisonous, it's curtains for us all.

Sad isn't it. Just look at the poison milk situation they had, I dont think it effected the US but imagine if it did. The US needs to start manufacturing things again and not out source it because saves a few dollars on the price.

I apologize for my spelling but this topic really gets to me. I try at the store to look for things still made in America but that becomes harder and harder. Ironically while grocery shopping today the one thing I did find made in the USA were egg rolls, I mean come on.

Kind of an old story. The comments are good though

Kind of old news here in Florida, and I believe the exact same "word for word" text/copy you posted appears in many previously published sources.
