Toxic Tort / Hazardous Substances - Welding Rod

Manufacturers and distributors of welding rods are confronting suits alleging neurological damage from exposure to manganese fumes.  Plaintiffs claim that occupational exposure to welding fumes causes Parkinson's disease or manganese poisoning.  The complaints also assert that the welding rod "industry" engaged in a conspiracy to cover up the hazards of welding rods from ultimate and foreseeable users.  Recent verdicts against welding rod defendants have reverberated through the manufacturing, financial, insurance and legal sectors. Plaintiffs are pursuing class action treatment in federal and state courts and are committing significant resources to the litigation.
