Update: Lowe’s Drywall Settlement Gift Cards Arrive
By Mike Holter
It’s been a long road for Class Members of the Lowe’s drywall class action lawsuit settlement, but several Top Class Actions readers have reported they finally received their settlement benefits in the mail this week.
The Lowe’s drywall settlement was reached in July 2010, but was delayed due to at least two appeals and one amendment to the class action lawsuit settlement agreement. Plaintiffs in the Lowe’s drywall class action lawsuit (entitled Glen Vereen v. Lowe’s Home Centers, Inc.) alleged Lowe’s sold defective Chinese drywall that emitted sulfide gasses and other chemicals that not only emitted a noxious odor, but also damaged homes by corroding metal surfaces. Lowe’s denied any wrongdoing, but agreed to a $7.75 million class action settlement to resolve the litigation.
Consumers who purchased or installed defective drywall from Lowe’s before July 27, 2010 had until July 15, 2011 to file a claim to receive between $50 and $4,500 from the class action settlement.
Special thanks to Top Class Actions reader Pattrick M. for alerting us that gift cards from the Lowe’s drywall settlement are finally being mailed to Class Members.

does anyone have the phone number to call regarding your status? I moved to FL last year and all the paperwork is in my office at my house in GA….
did not rec. any notice i filed a claim and bought quite a bit of the drywall also have been sick from it being in my guess i will have to get a lawyer
djuna, the same thing has been happening to me. I am thinking about contacting the state attorney general’s office.
I received wrong amount for my claim and called 800 number, so far have been waiting for a review since oct.,keep saying not reviewed. maybe they need another class action for lying. anyone else going through this?
I did my hole home with this crap 189 sheets i got a gift card even after i droped out of class. I found out that my new house has to be ripped down my lawer dosent seem to be doing much can any one tell me if this is happening to them and what you are doing about it.
I just happened to catch this update by accident…but to date, I have not rec. ANY gift card or notification. While not a contractor, I had purchased quite a few panels of this crap when remodeling several years ago, but like everything else, it was not a receipt I kept because there was not “warranty” thought about for drywall at the time.
Who else had probably NOT gotten a card for this?
I’m sure not all people who submitted proof of damages recieved the right amount. Just call the 800 number on the letter and they will check your evidence. They did that to me and now they will be sending me 4,250 in a gift card and 100k check.
