One Drywall Lawsuit Against National Gypsum Dismissed; Other Claims Pending

``In a press statement, the company said the dismissal was evidence that National Gypsum drywall is safe and doesn't share the same problems as its Chinese counterpart, which has been linked to respiratory problems and to corroded wiring in thousands of homes across the southeastern U.S. But nearly 100 claims are still pending against National Gypsum in a Florida court, and the Arizona homeowner whose lawsuit was dismissed on Tuesday is among them... "The dismissal in no way exonerates National Gypsum and any assertion to the contrary is irresponsible and false. Mr. Yee is a member of the proposed class in litigation in Florida, and we will watch with great interest how that case proceeds."''
