Are there any stores that sell Chinese drywall?

What makes Chinese drywall different from American drywall?
Potential causes. Lab comparisons of Chinese- and American-made drywall show significantly higher levels of pyrite in the Chinese material. This suggests that pyrite oxidation may be the source of the sulfur compounds released by Chinese drywall.
What was the cause of the malodors in Chinese drywall?
Forensic analyses suggest that disproportionation of elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide and sulfuric acid, caused by bacteria, was the primary cause of the malodors. There are few studies exploring the effects of long-term low-level exposure to sulfur gases.
When did the US start importing Chinese drywall?
Drywall was imported by the United States during the construction boom between 2004 and 2007, spurred by a shortage of American-made drywall due to the rebuilding demand of nine hurricanes that hit Florida from 2004 to 2005, and widespread damage caused along the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
