It is thought that many builders may have used this defective drywall.  At the center of a large number of complaints are homes built in southwest Florida by Lennar and Taylor Morrison.  A test conducted by Environ International of some of the Lennar homes found three gases – carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide and dimethyl sulfide.  Hydrogen sulfide, a particularly dangerous compound that causes the rotten egg smell, was not found in the Environ’s air tests, but it was found in previous testing that the company conducted on the drywall itself.

Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co. Ltd. Of China, a subsidiary of German-based manufacturer Knauf, manufactured the drywall.  The drywall arrived at nearly two dozen ports around the country with seven of them in Florida, and the others include New York, Texas, New Orleans and California.
