June 7, 2007 - rene Suchor felt sick to her stomach seven years ago and hurried to the bathroom of her McCullom Lake home.
She made it to the kitchen before she started throwing up blood, and her husband called an ambulance after finding her passed out from blood loss. Doctors diagnosed her with advanced cirrhosis, but could not determine a cause – Suchor does not drink, and has never contracted hepatitis, the two most common causes.
Seven years and a liver transplant later, Suchor, 69, now blames groundwater contamination from three Ringwood manufacturers that a Philadelphia attorney has sued on behalf of 17 other people.
But her lawsuit, filed Thursday in a Philadelphia court, is unique among the 18 filed against the manufacturers. The other lawsuits are from people who claim that they contracted brain and nerve cancers from contaminated groundwater.
