Lockheed Martin Co.
July 31 2007
A class action lawsuit has been filed against the company alleging toxic dust from the beryllium plant may cause long term health problems. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Tallevast, FL residents and former beryllium workers and is seeking a medical screening program to determine the effects of exposure to toxic dust and chemicals.
Beryllium is a lightweight metal that was used in the manufacture of nuclear weapons during the time Loral American Beryllium Co. operated the plant from 1961 to 1996. Lockheed acquired the facility in a corporate buyout of Loral in 1996. The dust created in machining beryllium is highly toxic and can cause a chronic lung disease called berylliosis, which can be fatal if not treated.

She gave birth to 4 kids. Two mysteriously died in their crib. One of my brothers was born with no enamel and severe mental illness. I was diagnosed with caner after 8 months of being born. My mother didn't smoke, she ate right. Now, had we been told it just might have spared my mother from having to bury 4 kids.
