"Thousands of people who lived in homes in the mid-2000s made with toxic Chinese drywall, including many in Hampton Roads, may finally get some closure.

Taishan Gypsum Co., the Chinese-maker of the drywall that sickened those living inside its walls, has agreed to settle the lengthy legal case for $248 million.

Nearly 100 million square feet of Chinese-made drywall was believed to be imported between 2005 and 2008, a result of shortages following Hurricane Katrina and growing housing demand at the time."
