Hospital workers sue after cleaning product injuries.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Ecolab, Inc. (February 2020) on behalf of three plaintiffs who claim they sustained personal injuries after using defective and dangerous products: OxyCide Daily Disinfectant Cleaner and the OxyCide Dilution Management System. The complaint could evolve into a nationwide class of current/former hospital workers exposed to OxyCide products.

According to the complaint, Ecolab first distributed their OxyCide cleaning products to more than 500 hospitals nationwide in 2013. Since that time, multiple hospital workers reported serious physical injuries, including burning of the eyes, nose, and throat, coughing, nasal problems, dizziness, headaches, nausea, nose bleeds, skin burns, respiratory irritation, rashes and other reactions.
