(Recall) - CPSC and HUD Issue Updated Remediation Protocol for Homes with Problem Drywall

[HCW Hottie]

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are issuing an updated remediation protocol for homes with problem drywall. A study conducted on behalf of CPSC by Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, finds no evidence of a safety hazard to home electrical systems. Sandia simulated long-term exposure of wiring and other electrical components to hydrogen sulfide gas, which is associated with problem drywall.

Thank you to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission... (http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml11/11176.html)
