Details: The Lowe’s Drywall Settlement resolves a class action lawsuit (styled Glen Vereen v. Lowe’s Home Centers, Inc.) that alleges certain Chinese-manufactured drywall sold by Lowe’s was defective because it contained high levels of sulfur and/or other organic compounds. The defective Chinese drywall allegedly emits sulfide gasses and other chemicals that not only smell like rotten eggs, but also damages homes by corroding air-conditioners, refrigerators, electrical wiring and other metal surfaces and items in the home. The defective Chinese drywall has also allegedly caused physical irritation and health hazards to home occupants, including noxious odors, respiratory problems, sinus problems, eye irritation and nose bleeds.

 

The $6.5 million Lowe’s class action settlement will provide payments of Lowe’s gift cards and/or cash valued from $50 to $100,000 to class members. To be considered a member of the Lowe’s settlement class, you must meet one of two requirements:

 

(1) You purchased, installed or had installed defective drywall from Lowe’s anytime before July 27, 2010, or (2) You either owned or were a resident of real property (i.e.; any building such as a house, apartment condo, etc.) in which defective drywall that was purchased from Lowe’s anytime before July 27, 2010 was installed.

(1) No Purchase/No Proof of Purchase Claims: If you cannot provide documentation proving that you purchased allegedly defective drywall from Lowe’s or were an owner or resident of a building in which allegedly defective drywall from Lowe’s was installed, you may be eligible for a $50 Lowe’s gift card.

(3) Proof of Purchase and Damages Claims: If you can provide independent proof that you purchased allegedly defective drywall from Lowe’s and suffered damages from the defective drywall before July 27, 2010, you may be eligible to receive a $2,000 Lowe’s gift card and a cash reimbursement of up to $2,500.

(4) Enhanced Benefits Claims: If you purchased defective drywall from Lowe’s and can provide independent proof of purchase and Threshold Proof (as defined at DrywallSettlement.info) of damage in excess of $4,500, you may be eligible to receive up to $100,000.
