Meyer Wilson sued big box retailers Lowe’s, Best Buy, and HH Gregg, alleging that those stores had installed the wrong type of vent on clothes dryers in their customers’ homes. The type of vents the stores were using could cause fires, according to the installation instructions given by manufacturers of the dryers themselves, the lawsuits alleged. As a result, Meyer Wilson argued that it wasn’t fair that the stores should be able to keep the money from their installation charges for such allegedly dangerous installations. In settling the cases on a classwide basis, each of the retailers agreed to re-do the installations with the proper type of vent - for any customer who wished - at no charge.

Camp Lejeune, built in 1941 after Lieutenant General John Archer, a highly decorated marine who served our country for more than 40 years, is a 156,000 acre Marine Corps Base and training facility located in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The base, containing over 11 miles of beach, is an amphibious assault training site for marines. The main base also includes six satellite facilities: Marine Corps Air Station New River, Camp Geiger, Stone Bay, Courthouse Bay, Camp Johnson, and the Greater Sandy Run Training Area.
However, between 1953 and 1987, these brave marines (and their families and other civilians who worked at Camp Lejeune) drank and bathed in water contaminated with toxins at concentrations 240 to 3,400 times permitted by safety standards. The toxins included trichloroethylene (TCE) (a solvent used to clean metals), tetrachloroethylene (PCE) (a chemical found in dry cleaning products), vinyl chloride (VC) (a byproduct that occurs when TCE and PCE degrade over time) and Benzene (a toxic chemical found in certain plastics and resins), as well as 70 secondary chemicals.
Up until the summer of 2022, there was very little recourse against the Government for those who suffered injury as a result of their exposure to these chemicals while living and working on the base, short of some very narrowly targeted programs initiated by the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”).
However, this changed in the summer of 2022, when the United States Senate finally passed the Honoring our Pact of 2022 Act. This bill, in addition to making some significant changes to the VA, as well as extending more benefits and services to our veterans. Additionally, the bill provided a federal cause of action for individuals who resided, worked, or were otherwise exposed (including in utero) for not less than 30 days to water at Camp Lejeune between August 1, 1953 to December 31, 1987.
The passage of the bill is great news for those who have suffered illnesses after serving at Camp Lejeune. Now, these brave men and women, and their families, will finally be able to pursue justice for the pain and suffering they experienced, as well as to pursue claims for financial help for medical expenses needed after their time of service.
Some of these cancers that can be attributed to the exposure of the toxic chemicals at the base include:
Some of the non-cancer illnesses that can be attributed to the exposure of the toxic chemicals at the base include:
