COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL

Plaintiff Kathleen Koch, by her attorneys, Tomasik Kotin Kasserman, LLC and Edelson

PC, brings this Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial against Defendants Medline Industries, Inc.

("Medline"), and Vantage Specialty Chemicals, Inc. ("Vantage"), together ("Defendants"), for the

harm they caused to individuals living and working in the vicinity of these facilities as a result of

the Defendants' emissions of toxic ethylene oxide into the community. Plaintiff alleges as follows

upon personal knowledge as to herself and her own acts and experiences, and, as to all other

matters upon information and belief.

INTRODUCTION

1. Defendants Medline and Vantage are industrial users and polluters of ethylene

oxide gas in Illinois. Medline is an industrial medical sterilizer and Vantage is a chemical producer.

2. While ethylene oxide has been classified as a human carcinogen since 1994, and its

carcinogenic and mutagenic properties have been well documented in studies since at least the

mid-1980s, Medline and Vantage disregarded ethylene oxide's harmful properties and continue to

release it into the surrounding communities—entirely unbeknownst to area residents and workers.
