Daily Real Estate News | April 21, 2009 | Lennar Being Sued Over Chinese Drywall
Chinese drywall continues to be a headache for home builder Lennar Corp.

Lennar said Monday that it had been sued in U.S. District Court in Florida in connection with imported drywall that smells bad and possibly releases dangerous gases.

The suit was filed by an individual, Lorena Garcia.

Lennar itself is suing two Chinese drywall manufacturers, claiming the drywall, which it bought and installed in 2005 and 2006, is defective and is causing electrical problems and foul odors in homes it built throughout Florida.
