We are currently representing more than 10,000 clients affected by environmental disasters across the US.
The Sterilization Services of Tennessee facility at 2396 Florida Street in Memphis, Tennessee has exposed nearby residents to harmful levels of Ethylene Oxide (EtO), a human carcinogen.
A risk assessment completed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in July of 2022 revealed that the facility was releasing dangerous levels of EtO into the air, increasing the risk for cancers for people living in the South Memphis community.
