Welding Industry Lawsuits Don't Stop Quarterly Profits

Welding industry lawsuits against Lincoln Electric Holding, Inc. have not stopped their quarterly profits. Lincoln Electric has reported a 20-percent sales increase in the fourth quarter of 2006, to $505.9 million.

Lincoln Electric Holding has been involved in several welding industry lawsuits and in March 2006 a judge ruled that a case against the company can go forward. Lawyers for several defendants are suing Lincoln Electric saying that the low-manganese welding rods they had used contributed to the development Parkinson's syndrome.

In 2001, Dr. Brad Racette, a neurologist at Washington University School of Medicine, published a study linking welding fumes from manganese rods to Parkinson's disease. The study found that a group of welders had developed Parkinson's disease 15 years earlier than normal.
