Unbelievably, Chinese Drywall Manufacturer Knauf attempted to convince one of its suppliers to keep the problems associated with Chinese drywall secret!
"Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co. LTD, a major Chinese drywall manufacturer, urged one of its main U.S. customers, Banner Supply, to sell thousands of sheets of foul-smelling drywall “overseas” after Banner complained about the tainted product, according to documents and depositions unsealed Friday by a Florida circuit court judge in Miami-Dade County. A Banner executive said the offer was refused.
They also show that Germany-based Knauf and Florida-based Banner struck a confidential agreement: Knauf agreed to replace the tainted drywall with more than half a million dollars worth of American product and Banner agreed not to sue Knauf or tell its customers, government regulators, or the news media about the deal."
More documents go on to detail how truth was kept from the public for more than two years!
