Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) has been used to extinguish highly flammable fires that are fueled by liquid or gas since the 1960s.
AFFF firefighting foam contains PFAS chemicals, also known as forever chemicals, which have been linked to numerous types of cancer, including multiple myeloma, and other serious health risks.
AFFF use has been slowly phased out for the most part, but a countless number of people have suffered health effects potentially linked to exposure.
AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits are being filed across the country by individuals who’ve suffered from exposure.
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, other types of cancer, or any other related health problems, you may be eligible to file an AFFF firefighting foam lawsuit.

While the exact causes of multiple myeloma are not fully understood, emerging research has raised concerns about a potential link between this cancer and exposure to PFAS chemicals.

The health impacts of PFAS chemicals are widespread.

Scientific Research on Exposure to PFAS Chemicals and Health Problems
Several scientific studies have exposed links between forever chemicals and the increased risks of certain health conditions.
Studies on the links between PFAS exposure and health problems include the following:
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found a statistically significant association between PFOA exposure and an increased risk of kidney cancer, testicular cancer, and ulcerative colitis.
Another study published in the International Journal of Cancer found a positive association between PFOS exposure and breast cancer.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a health advisory for PFOA and PFOS, stating that long-term exposure to these chemicals above certain levels could be harmful to human health.
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley studied the carcinogenic effects of PFAS on female firefighters and office workers, finding that firefighters who reported using firefighting foam in the past year had higher levels of several PFAS in their body compared to those who did not.
Firefighting foam cancer lawsuits are being filed against AFFF manufacturers.

AFFF Lawsuits Filed by Cities & Governments (Municipal Water Contamination Cases)
PFAS chemicals have contaminated groundwater and drinking water in numerous cities and communities across the country, posing a serious threat to the well-being of residents.
PFAS compounds do not break down easily, which means that once they are released into the environment, they persist for extended periods.
They are also highly water soluble, and they can seep into underground water supplies and water tables.
We cannot easily remove them from these depths, so they are projected to stay as contaminants for hundreds to thousands of years.
The contamination of groundwater and drinking water by PFAS has far-reaching consequences for affected communities.
Residents may face health problems, property devaluation, and increased water treatment costs.
Contaminated water sources can disrupt local economies and lead to prolonged legal battles as communities seek compensation and remediation.
Several states, towns, and local water agencies have joined the AFFF litigation process.
Like individual plaintiffs, they aim to seek compensation and increase awareness about the risks of AFFF and PFAS.

Pending AFFF Lawsuits and current AFFF Lawsuits are consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL).
MDL is a special federal legal procedure designed to streamline the legal process and ensure that decisions are consistent across cases that contain a degree of similarity.
MDLs consolidate cases alleging similar facts and circumstances into one singular district court.
The AFFF Firefighting Foam MDL is consolidated in the US District Court for the District of South Carolina.
In the event of an AFFF Lawsuit settlement, compensation would be distributed to plaintiffs according to the facts, circumstances, and damages present in their individual cases.
This differs from class action lawsuits, where settlement compensation is divided evenly among all claimants, regardless of their individual circumstances.
No settlements have been reached in the AFFF firefighting foam cases.
However, lawyers estimate that individual AFFF Lawsuit settlement amounts could range from $10,000 to over $300,000 per person.
These global settlement projections are by no means a guarantee of compensation in the AFFF Lawsuit, they are merely estimations based on prior mass tort cases.
