April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.

May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

Hundreds of facilities in the U.S. using Ethylene Oxide have increased the potential cancer risks for the community due to air contamination emissions. Ethylene Oxide is used primarily in the sterilization of medical equipment. It is a colorless and mostly odorless gas, leaving most people who live in the immediate proximity of these facilities unaware that they are being exposed to it.

Between 2020 and 2022, hundreds of civil lawsuits have been filed against these facilities, including a landmark case against Sterigenics. An Illinois woman who lived in close proximity to the facility was awarded $363 million after developing breast cancer.

Ethylene Oxide lawsuits offer potential compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages. Despite known health risks many facilities continue to emit harmful levels of ethylene oxide. We are here to listen and help.

Protect Your Health & Rights

Ethylene Oxide (EtO) is a colorless, flammable gas commonly used in the sterilization of medical equipment and other commercial products. Despite its critical role in preventing infections, ethylene oxide has been classified as a human carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Prolonged exposure to EtO has been linked to serious health issues, including various forms of cancer, reproductive disorders, and respiratory complications. Communities living near sterilizing facilities and workers in these environments face significant health risks from chronic exposure.

Due to the mounting evidence of its harmful effects, a growing number of lawsuits have been filed against companies using ethylene oxide in their sterilization processes. These lawsuits allege that corporations failed to properly warn employees, nearby residents, and regulatory agencies about the dangerous levels of EtO emissions. Victims include workers directly exposed to EtO in sterilizing facilities, as well as community members suffering from environmental exposure.

Recent settlements in ethylene oxide lawsuits have ranged widely, from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. For instance, individual settlements for workers and residents exposed to high levels of EtO have surpassed $1 million in some cases. These settlements reflect the serious long-term health consequences of exposure and serve as a deterrent for corporations neglecting safety standards.
