Sue Kamuda, a breast-cancer survivor who lives a third of a mile from a former Sterigenics facility, is the first of more than 700 people seeking recompense.
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.
Sue Kamuda, a breast cancer survivor who lives a third of a mile from a former Sterigenics facility, should get $21 million for physical and emotional suffering and the loss of her normal life, attorney Patrick Salvi told jurors at the end of a five-week trial in a Daley Center courtroom.
Kamuda is the first of more than 700 people seeking recompense from Sterigenics, an Oak Brook-based company that released cancer-causing ethylene oxide into neighborhoods surrounding a Willowbrook facility where the toxic gas was used for decades to sterilize medical devices. Matthew Malinowski walked the jury through differences between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s conclusions about, and the odds any one person’s cancer could be traced back to a specific source of pollution.
