The makers of welding rods were aware of the problems associated with manganese poisoning—yet they continue to use this potentially harmful element in their products.
Scientists have known about manganese poisoning and the symptoms of manganese poisoning for more than 150 years. Manganese poisoning is one of the most documented of all complications caused by environmental toxins. Manufacturers, however, continue to use manganese in welding rods and other applications. Factory employees who use manganese have also shown symptoms of manganese poisoning, but in many incidences, steps have not been taken to adequately reduce the level manganese exposure in the workplace. Those working with or near welding rods are the people who may be entitled to welding rod litigation settlements.
Welders who have developed Parkinson's disease (or similar symptoms) as a result of manganese poisoning may wish to file a complaint for a possible class action suit seeking manganese settlements. The welding rod litigation suit would allege that welding-supply companies failed to warn employees about the dangers of manganese poisoning, including neurological and central nervous system problems (dangers which have been known since 1837), and that they are responsible for paying manganese poisoning settlements.
