Chinese drywall poses potential risks

Here is the story that goes with the above headline:

I am SO sick of reading headlines about Chinese things being harmful to us. When are people go
ing to realize that CHEAP is not the be-all and end-all of everything! And what must it be like to live in China where so many hazardous ingredients seem to be put into so many products? Are there no health and safety standards?

I used to wonder what it would be like to live in such a place, but then again....here in this country you can also find people who oppose health and safety regulations, and the money that such precautions cost.

As consumers, we can't afford to let our guard down. Not for a minute.
