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.

In the early 1980s, the U.S. Marine Corps discovered the presence of hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the water supply at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
The water contamination on base had been ongoing since 1953. Activities by the U.S. military and a nearby private dry cleaning business inadvertently allowed chemicals to seep into underground storage tanks, polluting the water supply.
Civilian workers, service members, and their families were potentially exposed to the contaminated water until 1987, although some of the contaminated wells were taken out of service in February 1985.
The water at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with multiple hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOCs):
Benzene, TCE, and VC are classified as carcinogenic chemicals, while PCE is classified as probably carcinogenic. Exposure to these chemicals can increase the risk of cancer, birth defects, and other health problems.
The current limit for TCE in drinking water is 5 parts per billion (ppb). At its peak, the level of TCE found in the water at Camp Lejeune was 1,400 ppb, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
For over four decades, the water supply at Camp Lejeune, a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, was contaminated with hazardous industrial solvents, exposing countless service members and their families to toxic substances. If you or a loved one lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, you may be entitled to compensation for the harm caused by this tragic oversight.
