A class action lawsuit involving damages from toxic Chinese drywall is set to go to trial the first week of June in Miami, Florida.  But first, there will be a hearing on class certification on May 27th.

The lawsuit was filed in January 2009 against the German-owned Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin Co. Ltd., that mines and manufactures drywall in China.  The class includes families whose homes were build using Chinese drywall by South Kendall Construction Corp., a homebuilder who has since declared bankruptcy, citing mounting Chinese drywall claims.

This is not the first Chinese drywall trial, however; the federal MDL judge in New Orleans, Louisiana has already entered judgments on behalf of a Louisiana family and a group of Virginia families who suffered damage in their homes from Chinese drywall.
