Quest for Chinese drywall defendants



Manufacturers in China are hard to sue, and some installers and other middlemen in this country are sure to argue that they didn't realize the product was sometimes flawed. So, per AP, lawyers are casting a wider net. Plaintiff's lawyer Russ Herman said efforts
