Welder Scores Victory Against Industry
A federal jury in Cleveland returned a verdict in favor of a sick welder for $20.5 million against Lincoln Electric, Hobart Brother Co. ESAB Group, TDY Industries and BOC Group. At the core of the case was the defendants' failure to warn former welder Jeff Tamraz of the toxicity of manganese in their products. The welding fumes have disabled Mr. Tamraz. The defendants are appealing the case.
