Sue Kamuda is the first of nearly 800 people seeking damages from Sterigenics over the use of ethylene oxide, also known as etO.
By Lynnea Domienik, Daniel TuckerA Cook County jury on Monday awarded $363 million to a woman who alleged pollution from a sterilization plant near her home gave her cancer.
Sterigenics in Dupage County and two companies in Lake County used the cancer-causing chemical ethylene oxide in sterilization processes for years before nearby residents began to report higher-than-normal levels of a number of cancers.
Reset learns about the first lawsuit against Sterigenics over use of the known carcinogen.
