Miscarriages, stillbirths, and cases of childhood leukemia are now being attributed to pregnant mothers drinking Camp Lejeune tap water
Sunday, August 21, 2022 - When the Marine Corp decided to inform the public that the Camp Lejeune water supply was contaminated in 1982, it was already too late. Hundreds of thousands of gallons of water were being consumed every day by Marines and their families from two VOC-contaminated water treatment facilities. From 1953 until then, thousands of pregnant women unknowingly drank, cooked, bathed in, and bathed their children in the water at Camp Lejeune Marine Base in North Carolina. It is estimated that during that time, 900,000 Marines, many of whom were in the early stages of starting a family passed through Camp Lejeune. Studies indicate that children born at Camp Lejeune had higher incidences of being stillborn, suffered from physical or mental birth defects, and developed childhood leukemia. According to a report published by The Hill, "From 1953 to 1987, more than a million men, women, and children bathed in and ingested Camp Lejeune's toxic water. Hundreds of babies died, so many filling a stretch of a nearby cemetery that it received the grim title "Baby Heaven." And children were not the only victims of the poisoning. If you have had a miscarriage, a stillborn child, or a child who died from leukemia or other cancer, and lived or worked on the base at Camp Lejeune you should contact a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawyer. Tens of thousands of Marines, military family members, and civilian staff have since developed severe illnesses, from cancer to Parkinson's, linked to the contamination." If you or a loved one served at Camp Lejeune for at least 30-days from 1953 to 1987, you qualify to file a Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuit and seek lump-sum monetary compensation. It is estimated that more than $900 billion will be paid to those who have developed Camp Lejeune water cancer or the loved ones of those who died from the disease.
Thousands of Marines have died from cancer after drinking Camp Lejeune water, and women have suffered miscarriages and stillbirths. A coverup is suspected by those reporting the number of stillbirths at Camp Lejeune. More than 200 infant death certificates have "unknown" as the cause of death. For decades, Camp Lejeune mothers have blamed themselves for being unable to deliver a healthy child. One Camp Lejeune mother told Newsweek back in 2014 that they tried multiple times to have children while serving on the base only to deliver a stillborn infant. Some mothers who could no longer conceive after living on the base have thought about committing suicide.
Today there is hope. Mothers now know that it was the Camp Lejeune toxic tap water that caused their miscarriages, and stillborn and postnatal infant deaths. The Marine Corps admits they knew in late 1981 that two water treatment facilities serving Camp Lejeune were contaminated by volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), benzene, and other toxins. The cause of the contamination is being blamed on a local dry cleaner improperly disposing of their toxic dry cleaning solution, and it leaching into the water table for years. The recently enacted-into-law Camp Lejeune Justice Act permits the survivors of children who died to file a Camp Lejeune water lawsuit against the government.">
