Harrell v. South Kendall (Chinese Drywall)

Summary

Harrell v. South Kendall Construction is the nation's first Chinese Drywall class action to be tried to a jury. Last June a Miami jury awarded $2.5M to a Florida couple in Seifart v. Banner Supply, which was the first individual Chinese Drywall case to be tried to a jury.

The Harrell trial will involve approximately 80 homeowners, many of whom were forced out of their homes by corrosive, hydrogen sulfide gas emitted by defective drywall imported from China. Repair estimates have run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for individual homes, and many Chinese Drywall homes have been foreclosed on.
