Ethylene oxide (EtO) is a dangerous carcinogen linked to severe health risks, including cancer, neurological damage, respiratory illnesses, and more. If you or a loved one has been exposed to this toxic chemical, whether through industrial work, medical sterilization facilities, or contaminated products, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Our experienced ethylene oxide exposure attorneys are investigating cases and pursuing justice for victims, holding corporations accountable for negligence that has put lives at risk.
Ethylene Oxide Exposure Landmark Lawsuit Victory
Recent high-profile cases have exposed the devastating impact of ethylene oxide exposure. In a landmark $20 million verdict, a retired truck driver proved that Becton Dickinson’s EtO-emitting facility caused his cancer – a powerful message that corporations cannot ignore the harm they cause.
The individual who emerged victorious in the lawsuit “alleged he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2017 because he was exposed over 47 years to ethylene oxide,” emitted from a Becton, Dickinson and Company sterilization facility in Covington, Georgia, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Cases like this one prove that when companies prioritize profits over safety, the legal system can deliver accountability. If you’ve suffered due to EtO exposure, you don’t have to fight alone. Phillips Law Group may be able to help.
