At our law firm, we offer you a unique level of attention. We hope that these frequently asked questions will help you understand more about the way we work and validate our passion for helping people who are going through difficult situations.



People who can file an ethylene oxide (EtO) exposure claim are (1) residents with homes near EtO-using facilities, and (2) close family members of EtO-exposure victims.

Direct victims of EtO exposure and their relatives may file a toxic exposure claim

Long-term exposure to ethylene oxide may cause a range of cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, etc. The individuals who are at high risk of EtO exposure are:

  • Residents near facilities: Since EtO emissions are airborne, people who have homes within three miles of facilities that emit EtO may qualify for an EtO claim.

Note that early filing is important because of the state-specific deadlines for toxic exposure and wrongful death claims. You may reach out to a seasoned lawyer at ELG Law to be positively sure that you are eligible to file an EtO claim. Our legal team will only need a few documents, such as residential records and medical documents, to get started.
