Topeka (WIBW) - The Kansas Dept. of Health and Environment is working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to identify any Kansas homes that may have Chinese dry wall.

The Federal Trade Commission says some U.S. homes built between 2003 and 2008 contain imported drywall from China.

Some consumers who live in these homes have reported health problems like irritated and itchy eyes and skin, difficulty breathing, a persistent cough and headaches. Some also report a strong sulfur smell, like rotten eggs, and premature corrosion or deterioration of certain metal components in their homes, like air conditioner coils and wiring behind electrical outlets and inside electrical panel boxes.

The CPSC has gotten more than 2,000 reports of problems from the drywall from 32 states. Kansas is not one of these states so far.

However, KDHE wants to hear from people who think they have a problem with their drywall. Any Kansas homeowners who believe they may have problem drywall should report it to KDHE’s Bureau of Environmental Health by e-mailing BEH@kdheks.gov or calling (785) 296-5606 or 1-866-865-3233.

Homeowners can also contact CPSC by calling 1-800-638-2772 or logging on to www.CPSC.gov.
