A medical device facility, located at 8195 Industrial Blvd, Covington, GA 30014, near the ALDI and Walmart, released hazardous levels of Ethylene Oxide (EtO), exposing residents throughout the area to cancer.


EtO is a known human carcinogen. There are numerous health risks that can develop as a result of long-term exposure to EtO, including multiple cancers.


Up until 2019, Becton Dickinson allowed dangerously high levels of EtO emissions, exposing nearby communities, businesses and schools to this cancer-causing toxin—without warning residents of the potential health risks.


This facility is on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) list of toxic EtO polluters. More than 400 lawsuits have already been filed against this plant, and a $20 million dollar verdict has been awarded in one case so far.


If you were a resident, worker or student near the facility and developed cancer, you may be eligible for significant financial compensation.
