On this page, we’ll discuss an overview of the Camp Lejeune Cardiac Birth Defects Lawsuit, how cardiac birth defects have been linked to the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination, other diseases and health conditions linked to the water contamination at Camp Lejeune, and much more.
Between 1953 and 1987, toxic substances contaminated wells, treatment plants, and other sources of drinking water at United States Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and the nearby Marine Corps Air Station New River.
Military members, family members, and civilian workers exposed to these dangerous chemicals have been diagnosed with often fatal medical conditions, including several types of cancer and other diseases.
Exposure at Camp Lejeune has been linked to reproductive issues in women and birth defects.
If you’re considering filing a Camp Lejeune lawsuit, you likely have some questions.

Due to the contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune, unborn children were exposed to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other toxic substances that resulted in congenital heart defects or heart issues.
Many studies have established the links between contaminated drinking water and birth defects of the heart — particularly research conducted by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
Researchers at the ATSDR found that pregnant women who were exposed to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune had a higher chance of giving birth to a child with a heart defect.
Further scientific research on the links between toxic chemicals and congenital heart defects include:
Also called congenital heart defect (CHD), a cardiac birth issue is any problem in a baby’s heart that affects how their circulatory system functions.
Some are mild and go away as the child grows older, while others are life-threatening and require medical care or intervention.
Common examples of congenital heart defects include:
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
Generally, it is still unclear how congenital heart defects begin.
Medical experts believe that congenital heart defects and cardiac birth defects stem from the following factors:
Exposure to toxic substances — like the ones found in Camp Lejeune — falls under environmental factors that may contribute to birth defects of the heart or blood vessels.
Researchers found several contaminants in the water at Camp Lejeune, including trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), benzene, vinyl chloride, and up to 70 other contaminants.
Many of the contaminants in the water at Camp Lejeune are known to be harmful to the developing human body.
These substances can affect hormonal levels, DNA, and other important processes and components of child development in the womb.
Research studies linking Camp Lejeune Water Contamination and CHD include:
CHD can lead to a range of complications that affect the heart’s function, blood circulation, and overall health.
The severity of complications depends on the type and severity of the specific heart defect.
Possible complications associated with cardiac birth defects include:
The drinking water at Camp Lejeune water was contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for over 30 years.
Over one million military service members, their family members, civilian workers, private contractors, and others were exposed to contaminated water.
Exposure to tainted water at Camp Lejeune resulted in severe and often fatal health problems, and victims had little recourse.
It wasn’t until the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 that military veterans, family members, and others exposed to contaminated water were able to fully seek justice for what they experienced.
Through the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, victims can file compensation claims to the Navy’s Tort Claims Unit.
The Navy will promptly review compensation claims, returning a decision within 6 months of submission.
If a victim’s claim is not adjudicated or responded to within 6 months, they may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuit in the US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
If you or a loved one lived or worked at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more between 1953 and 1987, you may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Lawsuit.

The water contamination at Camp Lejeune was primarily caused by the presence of toxic chemicals in the base’s drinking water supply.
These substances seeped into the water from various sources, including leaking storage tanks and improper waste disposal practices.
The contamination occurred over several years and was a result of inadequate management and monitoring of the base’s water sources and infrastructure.
As a result, thousands of military personnel and their families were unknowingly exposed to these harmful chemicals, leading to significant health and environmental consequences.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 is a comprehensive law for those who were affected by contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune.
Signed in August 2022 by President Biden, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 allows victims to file administrative claims for compensation or Camp Lejeune Lawsuits if necessary.
This legislation is encompassed by the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act and supersedes other previous laws, like the Camp Lejeune Families Act.
Through the former Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, military personnel and their family members were provided with better access to health care benefits, Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, and other forms of compensation for the injuries and damages they suffered.
Research has shown that toxic chemicals from contaminated well water can affect the development of a baby’s heart, resulting in CHD.
