Ethylene Oxide (ETO) Exposure

Ethylene oxide is a flammable, colorless gas used to make other chemicals that are used in making a range of products, including antifreeze, textiles, plastics, detergents and adhesives. EtO is also used to sterilize equipment and plastic devices that cannot be sterilized by steam, such as medical equipment. While the EPA has been committed to reducing risks from EtO in recent years, companies have utilized it without concern for the people that live and work in their communities.

The team at 1-800-LAW-FIRM wants to help residents and workers who have been harmed by ethylene oxide exposure emissions. We understand the severe emotional and financial impact that a cancer diagnosis has on families. We are currently investigating the responsibility of companies for cancer and other illnesses in several communities across the country. If you believe that you or a loved one has suffered cancer, fertility issues, or other health issues related to EtO emissions, contact our team by filling out the form for a no-obligation, free claim review.
