Jury says Sterigenics should pay $363 million to breast cancer survivor for exposing her to cancer-causing ethylene oxide
Sue Kamuda, right, arrives at the Daley Center for opening arguments on Aug. 18, 2022, in the first personal injury lawsuit to go to trial against Sterigenics, an Oak Brook-based company that operated a Willowbrook facility that sanitized medical devices.
The verdict exceeded the $346 million that Kamuda’s attorney, Patrick Salvi II, had urged the jury to assess during his closing arguments.Lawyers for the companies argued that Salvi offered no proof that Kamuda’s breast cancer was caused by exposure to ethylene oxide. They also brought in industry-connected scientists who attempted to persuade the jury the Willowbrook facility never posed a danger to its neighbors.
