Families in a Southern California community are being urged to come forward as attorneys launch an investigation into an alarming number of rare childhood cancer cases.
Bond Legal Injury Lawyers said it is confidentially gathering information from those whose children lived in or regularly visited Ladera Ranch in Orange County and were diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma or other childhood cancers.
The probe comes after at least six children connected to the master-planned community have been diagnosed since 2013, according to affected families. The rare bone and soft tissue cancer affects only about 200 to 240 children and teens nationwide each year, according to the American Cancer Society.
