CHICAGO (November 28, 2022) – For more than 30 years, Sue Kamuda lived with her family several hundred yards away from an unassuming brick building situated in a small office park. Neither Kamuda nor the surrounding community knew that the building housed a company called Sterigenics that was spewing a colorless gas (EtO) used to sterilize medical equipment EtO into the skies above Willowbrook.
Sue was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, despite having no history of the disease in her family. Last year, her son Brian learned the debilitating pain he had been suffering in his back and hips was stage four non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The Kamuda’s attorney, Patrick Salvi II, recently spoke with the Guardian about the $363 million jury verdict Sue was awarded in September and Brian Kamuda’s upcoming trial against Sterigenics. Upon it’s publication, the article was the most read Guardian article in the world. Please click here to read the full story.
