Allegations in the Sotera Health Class Action Lawsuit

Sotera Health provides sterilization and lab testing and advisory services to the medical device and pharmaceutical industries. Through its Sterigenics brand, Sotera Health provides outsourced terminal sterilization services for the medical device and pharmaceutical markets. As part of Sotera Health’s sterilization services, Ethyl Oxide (“EtO”) gas is used – a process that emits toxic fumes which must be filtered before being released into the air.

The Sotera Health class action lawsuit alleges that the IPO and SPO’s offering documents and defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Sotera Health failed to employ effective emissions control systems to prevent the release of excessive amounts of toxic EtO gas from its sterilization facilities; (ii) those deficiencies exposed people living in the surrounding communities to a significantly increased risk of cancer; and (iii) those deficiencies further subjected Sotera Health to an increased risk of liability from hundreds of EtO-related lawsuits.

On September 19, 2022, an Illinois state court jury, in the first lawsuit arising from Sotera Health’s EtO emissions (the “Kamuda” case) found Sotera Health liable for causing the Kamuda plaintiff’s cancer. The jury awarded the Kamuda plaintiff $363 million in damages. The jury cited Sotera Health’s and Sterigenics’ “willful and wanton” misconduct in not preventing toxic EtO emissions, and failing to warn about the severe health hazard posed by Sotera Health’s Illinois facility. On this news, Sotera Health’s stock price declined over 33%.

Then, on September 20, 2022, Goldman Sachs downgraded Sotera Health stock, noting a greater risk to Sotera Health in future EtO-related litigation. On this news, Sotera Health’s stock price declined over 16%.

Finally, on September 21, 2022, JP Morgan downgraded Sotera Health stock after finding that “investors are likely to price in this unprecedented ruling as a higher probability of a larger settlement or subsequent payouts of the 700+ remaining individual lawsuits, which [Sotera Health] could potentially not afford.” On this news, Sotera Health’s stock price declined over 10%, further damaging investors.
​
As of when the Sotera Health class action lawsuit was filed, Sotera Health common stock continued to trade below the $23.00 per share IPO price and the $27.00 per share SPO price.
