Family sickened by home's meth lab past

Jonathan Hankins and his family were thrilled after they purchased a foreclosed home in Klamath Falls, Ore. - until they said the home started making them sick.

Hankins, his wife Beth and 2-year-old son Ezra started developing extreme dry mouth and other out-of-the-ordinary symptoms like headaches and respiratory issues. According to neighbors, the previous inhabitants had operated a methamphetamine lab.

The family created a petition to get a refund from seller Freddie Mac for the home's cost, and calls for the company to implement widespread testing of all homes it sells.
