Harty was a welder at the Olin Brass Casting plant in East Alton.<br /><br />Harty claims the fire suppression system was defectively designed and manufactured because the heat sensors failed to detect the fire and failed to manually discharge.<br /><br />According to Harty, he suffered severe and permanent burns to his face, chest and arms, suffered great pain and suffering, lost wages, and became liable for medical expenses.<br /><br />Harty is represented by Matt Chapman and Greg Becker of Becker, Galanti and Schroader in Granite City.  <br /><br />The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Daniel Stack.<br /><br /><i>05 L 1119</i><br />"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
