Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Maywood
Maywood residents face chronic EtO exposure from the Sterigenics facility across the city boundary in Vernon. This environmental justice situation — industrial pollution in Vernon burdening the adjacent community of color — is central to the litigation narrative. California Proposition 65 shifts the burden to Sterigenics to prove exposures are below the no significant risk level. The 2-year California statute of limitations from diagnosis applies, with the discovery rule providing tolling until the plaintiff discovers the EtO-cancer connection.
