I just got word of CPSC information. Seems like what we already knew already but maybe it well take some of the sensationalism away from the unscrupulous testers out there.
CPSC Identification Protocols
The FTC says homeowners should be on the alert for anyone trying to sell test kits, inspections, and
quick fxes for tainted drywall. The Federal Interagency Task Force is studying testing and remediation
protocols for affected homes, but no federally-approved testing kits or remediation methods currently
exist.
