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 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma 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 exposed to firefighting foam and subsequently diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, other types of cancer, or any other related health problems, you may be eligible to file an AFFF firefighting foam lawsuit.

AFFF Firefighting Foam and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Risk
The PFAS chemicals in AFFF firefighting foam have been linked to various illnesses ranging from prostate cancer to other life-threatening potential health risks.
Among the illnesses associated with exposure to PFAS chemicals in AFFF foam is Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
According to an epidemiological report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is one of three cancers linked to prolonged perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
The other two illnesses in the report included testicular cancer and kidney cancer.
PFOA is one of several per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
PFAS chemicals are synthetic and are one of the active ingredients found in AFFF firefighting foam.
Prolonged exposure to PFAS chemicals like PFOA places a person at an increased risk of developing various cancers like Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, kidney, and testicular cancer.
PFAS Chemicals in Firefighting Foam and Effects on Human Health
Urged by the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Defense finally submitted an official warning stating that the dangerous chemicals in AFFF present an increased risk for serious health problems and environmental contamination.
In several research studies, PFAS have been linked to an increased risk for cancer and other serious health problems.
With the number of chemicals used in firefighting foam, the health impacts of them are widespread.
Cancers that have been associated with PFAS chemicals include:
Bladder cancer
Breast cancer
Colon cancer
Kidney cancer
Liver cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Prostate cancer
Rectal cancer
Testicular cancer
Thyroid cancer
Other health problems associated with PFAS chemicals include:
Increased cholesterol levels
Changes in liver enzymes
Small decreases in infant birth weights
Decreased vaccine response in children
Increased risk of high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia in pregnant women
Studies on the links between AFFF 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 women firefighters and office workers, finding that firefighters who reported using firefighting foam in the past year had higher levels of several PFAS in their bodies compared to those who did not.
AFFF lawsuits are being filed by individuals who have suffered exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) present in different types of aqueous film forming foam (AFFF).
With many victims filing AFFF foam lawsuits, the cases have been consolidated into an AFFF firefighting foam MDL in the U.S. District Court: District of South Carolina.
The MDL was filed as MDL 2873 and contains AFFF firefighting foam cancer lawsuits from more than a dozen states and local water authorities.
Our attorneys are currently handling AFFF firefighting foam cases and are accepting new clients from all 50 states.
Who Are the Defendants in the AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuits?
The defendants named in the AFFF litigation encompass a range of AFFF manufacturers.
These manufacturers supplied toxic firefighting foam products to various military bases and facilities.
The defendants in the AFFF MDL include the following AFFF firefighting foam manufacturers:
3M
DuPont
Chemours
Tyco Fire Products
Chemguard Inc
Several other manufacturers
What are Average AFFF Lawsuit Settlement Amounts?
Should the lawsuits result in favorable outcomes, victims will be entitled to AFFF firefighting foam settlements.
As we speak, our firefighting foam law firm continues to pursue legal action on behalf of our clients.
With the AFFF lawsuits in progress, settlements have yet to be awarded.
Nevertheless, this doesn’t stop us from estimating potential AFFF lawsuit settlement amounts.
Based on similar large-scale civil torts in the past, individual settlements for a case like the AFFF firefighting foam MDL can be anywhere from $100,000 to $300,000.
These projections are based on historical data — the actual firefighting foam settlement amount you may receive depends on the specific details of your case.
These estimations are by no means a guarantee of compensation for your AFFF lawsuit.
In particular, the evidence demonstrating your exposure, the illnesses you have developed, and your damages will determine how much your potential AFFF settlement will be.
AFFF lawsuits are being filed by individuals who received a cancer diagnosis after being exposed to toxic firefighting foam.
If you or a loved one has received a Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or other cancer diagnosis because of AFFF foam exposure, you may be eligible to join the ongoing AFFF lawsuits.

AFFF Lawsuits are consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the U.S. District Court: District of South Carolina.
The AFFF multidistrict litigation (MDL) consolidates all individual AFFF lawsuits filed against manufacturers for health problems and related damages due to AFFF exposure.
MDL is different from class action lawsuits.
In the event of a settlement in an MDL, compensation is distributed among clients according to the facts and circumstances in their individual cases.
In a class action lawsuit, compensation is divided evenly among all claimants regardless of their individual circumstances.
Many law firms incorrectly use the terms “AFFF Class Action Lawsuit” and “AFFF Class Action MDL” to describe the AFFF MDL.
At TorHoerman Law, we believe that if we continue to focus on the people that we represent, and continue to be true to the people that we are – justice will always be served.
