EKO has filed a complaint against Sutter Health, Northern California's largest healthcare provider, regarding harm to healthcare workers caused by OxyCide disinfectant cleaner.

​

OxyCide is used to clean and disinfect hospital rooms. Numerous environmental services staff members at hospitals throughout the country have reported illnesses they relate to the use of OxyCide, including occupational asthma.

 

The court granted Plaintiffs’ Motion for class certification in 2022. Soon after class certification, the case settled for approximately $2 million and required several key safety measures by Sutter Health.

​

EKO is proud of the frontline healthcare workers who stood up for their rights and made this case possible.

​

If you work in the healthcare industry and are concerned about violations of your rights, EKO is here for you.
