The stock of Eljer Industries rose 18.6 percent yesterday after a ruling reduced the potential damages the company faced in a product lawsuit. Eljer's shares closed at $6.375, up $1, on the New York Stock Exchange. In April, a state jury in San Diego ordered the Shell Oil Company, the United States Brass unit of Eljer and the Hoechst Celanese Corporation to pay $48.3 million in punitive damages for producing leaky plastic plumbing that flooded some homes. The rubbery gray polybutylene tubing was widely used instead of metal pipes in the early 1980's home-building boom. Shell and Celanese made the plastic; U.S. Brass made the finished pipe and fittings. On Monday, a state judge in San Diego cut the damage award to $2 million.
