Steris (STE) announced that a jury trial that had been ongoing since December 4, 2024, against Isomedix Operations, a subsidiary of the company, ended in a mistrial on January 17, 2025. The case is pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, and involves claims by an individual plaintiff that ethylene oxide emissions from a sterilization facility in Waukegan, Illinois, caused personal injury. Isomedix owned and operated the facility from 2005 to 2008. The Court declared a mistrial at Plaintiff’s request during jury deliberations when dismissal of one of the jurors reduced the jury to fewer than twelve. The Court will schedule the case for re-trial at a later date. Isomedix intends to continue to defend against allegations regarding ethylene oxide operations and emissions from the Waukegan, Illinois facility during 2005 to 2008.
