Contaminated Meth lab homes still being sold in Colorado

May 6, 2008

CBS4 reports that some Coloradans may not know they are living in former meth lab:

“Some Coloradans may be living in a home that once contained a drug lab and not even know it. As part of a year-long investigation, CBS4 News has obtained, through open records requests, governmental lists of properties that contained methamphetamine labs that were never cleaned up. CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger found people living in homes that may still be contaminated with meth. Governmental agencies failed to inform them, and unscrupulous homeowners sold the properties without warning the buyers.There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of homes in Colorado that once housed meth labs. State law requires homeowners to conduct the cleanup, but CBS4 collected lists of hundreds of former meth houses that haven’t been cleaned. Sallinger started knocking on doors.” - Read the full story on cbs4denver.com
