What Is the Ethylene Oxide Lawsuit?
Ethylene oxide, a chemical commonly used to sterilize medical devices and some food products, is now at the center of a growing legal battle. This potent carcinogen has been linked to serious long-term health consequences, particularly an increased risk of cancer, and children are especially vulnerable. Communities exposed to ethylene oxide emissions over extended periods have faced devastating health impacts, all while the companies responsible continued operations unchecked.
Commercial sterilizers and organic chemical manufacturing (MON) facilities are among the primary defendants in lawsuits nationwide. These companies knowingly released toxic levels of ethylene oxide into surrounding neighborhoods, putting lives at risk for the sake of profit.
At The Goldwater Law Firm, we believe no corporation should be allowed to endanger public health without consequences. If you or a loved one developed cancer after long-term exposure to ethylene oxide, you may be entitled to compensation through an ethylene oxide lawsuit. Let us connect you with an experienced attorney who will fight for justice, accountability, and the future you deserve.
Suffered Health Issues After Ethylene Oxide Exposure?
What Can a Lawyer Do for Me?
If you handle your ethylene oxide case alone, you must manage all the associated tasks and processes yourself. If you hire a lawyer, they will:
- Evaluate Your Case: A lawyer will review your medical history, workplace exposure (or home exposure), and potential links between ethylene oxide exposure and your illness to determine if you have a viable claim.
- Investigate Exposure Sources: Attorneys can help identify how and where you were exposed, whether through occupational settings (e.g., sterilization plants) or environmental emissions near industrial facilities.
- Gather Evidence: Lawyers will collect key documents, including medical records, employer files, expert witness testimony, toxicology reports, and environmental data to build a strong case.
- Determine Liable Parties: They can pinpoint who is legally responsible, such as manufacturers, plant operators, or employers who failed to warn or protect against toxic exposure.
- Navigate Legal Complexities: An attorney will guide you through the legal process, including filing requirements, statute limitations, and applicable state or federal laws.
- Pursue Compensation: Your lawyer will seek damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and possibly punitive damages depending on the severity of corporate negligence.
- Represent You in Litigation or Settlement: Whether through court proceedings or negotiating out-of-court settlements, your lawyer will advocate aggressively on your behalf.
- Connect You With Experts: Lawyers often work with oncologists, epidemiologists, and other experts to support your case.
- Work on Contingency: The toxic tort attorneys at our law firm partners work on a “no win, no fee” basis, so you don’t pay unless you receive compensation.

Victims of cancer linked to ethylene oxide exposure may be entitled to a range of financial damages. These damages are designed to compensate for both the economic burden and the physical and emotional toll caused by the illness. You may qualify to recover:
- Medical Expenses: Victims can recover the cost of cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, hospital stays, doctor visits, prescription medications, rehabilitation, home health care, and future medical monitoring, especially for recurring or aggressive cancers.
- Lost Wages and Loss of Earning Capacity: Many cancer patients are forced to take extended time off work or retire early due to treatment or disability. Compensation may cover past income lost during treatment, reduced ability to earn a living in the future, and loss of employment benefits (e.g., health insurance, retirement).
- Pain and Suffering: Courts award damages for the physical pain, mental anguish, and emotional distress caused by cancer and its treatment.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Victims may recover compensation for the inability to engage in hobbies, family activities, or other aspects of daily life due to cancer-related limitations.
- Wrongful Death Damages: If a loved one passed away from EtO-related cancer, their family may seek damages for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and future financial support.
A lawyer can help you determine what compensation you can recover for your ethylene oxide exposure.
People often decide against hiring an attorney because they think they can’t afford it. However, this isn’t true when you enlist our help. We only partner with law firms that take cases on a contingency-fee basis. This means you don’t pay a cent to get started and only pay your lawyer if they win your case. Their payment is a portion of the settlement or award you receive. Your legal team will discuss this fee percentage before you sign your contract, so there are no surprises.
