Welding Rod Litigation

Welding rod litigation maintains that the occupational exposure to welding fumes causes neurological conditions similar to Parkinson's disease. At issue is the presence of the chemical manganese in the rods that welders use to join metals. Occupational exposure to manganese can lead to manganism, which is also known as welder's disease. The symptoms are similar to Parkinson's disease so maganaism is classified as Parkinson's syndrome. Symptoms include tremors, shakiness, decreased movement or rigid muscles, loss of balance, sterility in men, short-term memory problems, slow or slurred speech, hand stiffness and pain. Symptoms are not reversible. The connection between manganese exposure and those symptoms is the subject of some 3,800 welding-rod lawsuits. Plaintiffs were encouraged by a $1 million Illinois verdict for a welder in 2006.
