Quality Problems with L&H Threaded Rods?

Recently I have been hearing that many customers are having quality issues with L&H threaded rods. It appears that the cleaning process they use to add their sticker in the middle of the threaded rod takes off all of the surface oil, leading to rusty rods. Some customers have been seeing rusty rods without the center label though.

Customers that hold a lot of inventory are trying to return rusty rods and are not getting much help. Any of the smaller shops that buy their L&H threaded rods through distributors like Dayton and Dallas are seeing quality issues because these rods sit at multiple warehouses prior to shipment.

I have heard of other quality issues recently, but the rust one keeps coming up in conversation. And the fact that there is not too much compassion coming from L&H themselves on the issue.  Too big to care?

Have you had any similar problems with your Threaded Rod lately? Leave them in the comments below.
