Positive trade ruling

YOUNGSTOWN

U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Howland, D-13th, on Monday announced a positive trade ruling for Vallourec USA and TMK IPSCO. The U.S. International Trade Commission voted 6-0 in the affirmative to maintain the anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders on seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line and pressure pipe from China.

These carbon and alloy steel seamless line and pressure pipe products are made for the energy sector. The ITC’s action comes under the five-year review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. They determined these imports likely would lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a foreseeable time.

CDC report leads to plunge of stock

NEW YORK

Lumber Liquidators’ stock plunged Monday as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now says people exposed to certain types of the company’s laminate flooring were three times more likely to get cancer than the agency previously predicted.

The CDC said in its original report it had used an incorrect value for ceiling height. It said that resulted in health risks calculated using airborne concentration elements about three times lower than they should have been.

It now estimates the risk of cancer at six to 30 cases per 100,000 people. It previously estimated two to nine cases per 100,000 people.

Shares of Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc. slid $2.56, or 18 percent, to $11.65 in afternoon trading. Its shares have fallen almost 83 percent over the past year.

Supporting order

WASHINGTON

Some family members of victims and survivors of the San Bernardino terror attack will file court papers in support of a judge’s order that Apple Inc. help the FBI hack into a locked iPhone as part of the terrorism investigation, a lawyer and others said Monday.

A Los Angeles attorney, Stephen Larson, said he represents at least several families of victims and other employees affected by the attack. He said the U.S. Attorney in the case, Eileen Decker, sought his help.

Larson said he will file a brief supporting the Justice Department before March 3.
