AFFF Lawsuit

The AFFF lawsuit involves legal claims against the manufacturers of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), a firefighting foam that has been linked to serious health risks, including various types of cancer. AFFF contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” which do not break down in the environment and can accumulate in the human body over time.

Health Concerns and Allegations

AFFF has been widely used by military personnel, firefighters, and airport workers to extinguish flammable liquid fires. However, exposure to PFAS in AFFF has been associated with several health issues, including kidney cancer, testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and other serious conditions. Plaintiffs in these lawsuits allege that the manufacturers knew or should have known about the dangers of PFAS but failed to provide adequate warnings or take steps to prevent exposure.

Legal Action and Compensation

Thousands of lawsuits have been filed by individuals who were exposed to AFFF and later developed health problems. These lawsuits seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. The legal action also aims to hold the manufacturers accountable for the environmental contamination caused by AFFF and the resulting harm to human health.

Who Is Affected?

Those most affected by AFFF exposure include firefighters, military personnel, airport workers, and residents living near areas where AFFF was regularly used. Individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer or other serious health conditions after being exposed to AFFF may be eligible to file a lawsuit.
