Cavanagh Sorich Law Group filed a lawsuit on behalf of a 71-year-old woman who was diagnosed with cancer after decades of ethylene oxide exposure from Sterigenics’ Willowbrook facility. Since 1984, Sterigenics has used ethylene oxide — a known carcinogen — to sterilize medical equipment at its 24-hour plant in Willowbrook, Ill. The public remained in the dark until 2018 when two federal reports revealed the extent of ethylene oxide (EtO) exposure caused by the southwest suburban facility.
Cavanagh Sorich Law Group partner Michael Sorich talked to Dakarai Turner at Fox 32 Chicago about the firm’s pending Sterigenics lawsuit.
