The US Consumer Product Safety Commission and HUD have stirred up some controversy by siding with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) that not all electrical wiring in a home with defective Chinese drywall needs to be replaced.

The Judge has ordered his standard be used on 300 homes being repaired by a national drywall company.
What component does the government and NAHB endorse for replacement? Check out the story. The issue remains that it is going to be very difficult to create a standard until it is determined how a settlement can be funded.
