What Is Ethylene Oxide, and Why Is It Dangerous?
Ethylene Oxide (EtO) is a toxic gas used in the sterilization of medical equipment and other products. Long-term exposure to EtO has been linked to serious health issues, including various cancers. If you’ve lived or worked near facilities that use EtO, you may be at risk for health problems due to this dangerous chemical.

We’re ready to be your family’s most passionate advocate and fight tooth and nail until you’re awarded the compensation you need and deserve.
