Va Senator Webb Calls On President To Address Defective Chinese Drywall

(Washington, DC) -- Virginia Senator Jim Webb is calling on President Obama to address the issue of defective Chinese drywall with President Hu Jintao during his upcoming visit to the People's Republic of China. The request follows an ongoing effort on behalf of the Virginia delegation to assist the hundreds of Virginia families and businesses that have suffered physically and financially from tainted drywall, imported from China. Webb's letter suggests that the issue of liability should be explored, and whether the Chinese companies or government will be held accountable for financial or health-related damages. Since April, Senator Webb's office has made a number of inquiries into possible federal support for Virginians who have suffered as a result of the defective drywall.
