Firefighter Foam Lawsuit Information

Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF), commonly used by firefighters for decades, is now at the center of a significant legal battle. This foam, preferred for its effectiveness in smothering difficult fires, especially in military and airport settings, has a darker side. It contains perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals," due to their persistent nature in the environment and the human body. Recent findings have revealed the alarming health risks associated with prolonged exposure to these chemicals, leading to over 6,400 lawsuits being filed in a multidistrict litigation (MDL). These lawsuits are a collective response to the failure of manufacturers to warn about or mitigate the risks of AFFF, despite decades of knowledge about its potential harm.


Individuals with long-term, occupational exposure to AFFF are facing severe health consequences. PFAS accumulation in the body has been linked to a range of life-threatening illnesses, most notably various forms of cancer such as bladder, kidney, pancreatic, testicular, liver, breast, leukemia, lymphoma, ovarian, and prostate cancer. Additionally, exposure to these chemicals can lead to other serious conditions like asthma, fertility issues, thyroid disease, and high blood pressure. The greatest number of claimants in these lawsuits are former and active members of the military, alongside firefighters, airport workers, and chemical industry workers, all of whom have faced significant exposure to these toxic substances in their line of work.

If you or a loved one has been affected by exposure to AFFF, it’s crucial to understand your right to seek justice and compensation. The ongoing MDL and individual lawsuits represent a fight for accountability from the manufacturers who continued to sell AFFF despite knowing its risks. By filing a claim, you can potentially receive compensation for the hardships endured, including medical expenses, loss of income, and the personal toll of the illnesses. We urge those affected to come forward. Your claim not only seeks the financial support you deserve but also holds these companies accountable, paving the way for safer practices in the future.
