I am seeking to obtain copies of MSDS sheets for welding rods and
welding wire, used in manufacturing. In particular, I am looking for
older warnings given on the welding rods and wires. Anyone having
older MSDS sheets, please contact me.

This is very important, as it relates to wedlers who have contracted a
Parkinson-like disease from the use of these welding rods and wires,
and who we believe were given inadequate warnings given on the MSDS
sheets. We need to obtain these sheets in order to help these welders
in their claims against the manufacturers of these rods and wires.

If the manufacturers of the welding rods and wire provided full
information about the potential toxicity of their products then they
are blameless. It is the employers of those affected workers who did
not give their workers sufficient cautionary information, risk pay,
handling and breathing equipment, and/or limited time exposure who you
should ethically go after.

That's easy.
Whoevers got the deepest pockets.

Obviously, you either completely missed or did not understand the
words "blameless" and "ethically".

All that going after "deep pockets" ensures is that the products that
are needed to increase the happiness of all humans will not be
produced in the future. It is up to each individual to either make
himself aware of harmful effects in the workplace or sign work
contracts which require his employer to be fully responsible. Those
who sell products with full disclosure of any potential harm which is
known at that time must not held responsible for such a voluntary act
of exchange. Where no coercion is involved, any restriction of or
penalty for free informed exchange of goods and services in order to
protect a few, always harms the many. By interfering with the
production of beneficial goods and services, in the long-run such
measures even harm the few who they were designed to protect.
