Studies Show Pregnant Women At Camp Lejeune Had Higher Rates of Children That Developed Cancer And Other Diseases

Children of Camp Lejeune Marines have a higher rate of fatal birth defects also like Spina Bifida and oral clefs in addition to higher rates of cancer

Monday, August 8, 2022 - The Honoring Our Pact Act is close to becoming a law. All that is necessary now is for the President of the United States to sign the legislation which has twice been approved by the US House of Representatives and the Senate. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act, the de facto centerpiece of the legislation, will allow Marines, civilian employees, and their respective family members both living and deceased to file a Camp Lejeune water lawsuit for their injuries and losses in a court of law. Hundreds of thousands of US Marines have been drinking ordinary tap water they thought was safe but instead had been permanently and irreversibly contaminated with toxic, carcinogenic chemicals. Many thousands have developed and died from a long list of cancers including but not limited to ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, liver disease, miscarriages, birth defects (cleft palate, heart defects, Choanal atresia, neural tube defects, low birth weight, and small for gestational age), etc, according to The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten's web site. Hundreds of thousands of Marines came home from wars heroically after defeating the enemies in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere, only to succumb to the negligence of the US military and the unseen enemy of toxicity in their drinking water.

Thousands of Marine families have lost children due to pregnant mothers having miscarriages, stillborn children, and childhood leukemia. Studies and reports indicate that Camp Lejeune pregnant women suffered an abnormally high number of miscarriages and stillbirths and thousands of children have been born with birth defects. "A long-awaited study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows a link between tainted tap water at a U.S. Marine Corps base in North Carolina and increased risk of serious birth defects and childhood cancers." According to CBS News. Mothers who drank the tap water during their pregnancy were four times more likely than women in similar circumstances who did not consume the water to have such serious birth defects as spina bifida... and a higher rate of childhood cancers as leukemia.." Camp Lejeune tap water was tested and contains more than 10,000 times the amount of chemicals like trichloroethylene the EPA deems safe and hundreds of birth defects such as spina bifida, anencephaly, oral clefts, and cancers, according to reports published by CBSNews.

Up until now, marines and their family members were unable to hold the US government accountable for failing to warn them of what they knew about Camp Lejeune water contamination. As a result, thousands of Marines and their family members have died at an early age and many died as a child without having a chance. Camp Lejeune Water Attorneys can help marines seek lump-sum monetary compensation for the suffering the US government has unnecessarily put them through.
