Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) was used to extinguish highly flammable fires fueled by class B materials (jet fuels, oils, gas, etc.) for decades.
AFFF firefighting foam contains PFAS chemicals, also known as forever chemicals, which have been linked to numerous types of cancer, including thyroid cancer and other serious health risks.
The use of AFFF firefighting foam has been slowly phased out for the most part, but countless people have suffered health effects potentially linked to exposure.
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, other types of cancer, or any other related health problems, you may be eligible to file an AFFF firefighting foam lawsuit.

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 a number of research studies, PFAS has been linked to an increased risk for cancer and other serious health problems.
With the chemicals used in firefighting foam, the health impacts of them are widespread.
The health of airport firefighters, military firefighters, chemical plant workers, and workers who transport and manufacture firefighting foam is especially at risk.
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.
Health risks associated with exposure to PFAS containing firefighting foam include:
Bladder cancer
Breast cancer
Colon cancer
Kidney cancer
Liver cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Prostate cancer
Rectal cancer
Testicular cancer
Thyroid cancer
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
The AFFF Lawsuit is legal action taken by individuals adversely affected by exposure to PFAS containing AFFF firefighting foam products.
PFAS are toxic chemicals that persist in the environment and the human body.
These substances have been associated with various health problems, including cancer.
Individuals who were exposed to AFFF firefighting foam at work, in military service, or elsewhere have been diagnosed with cancer and other adverse health effects.
The mass amount of AFFF lawsuits filed against manufacturers has led to the creation of a multidistrict litigation (MDL) to streamline and consolidate the AFFF Lawsuit.
The AFFF MDL is centralized in the US District Court of the District of South Carolina.
Who Are the Defendants in the AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuits?
The defendants in AFFF lawsuits include manufacturers of the firefighting foam.
Settlement amounts in AFFF foam lawsuits may vary widely depending on factors like the extent of exposure, the severity of health issues, and the strength of the legal case.
There has yet to be an AFFF Lawsuit settlement.
However, lawyers estimate that AFFF lawsuit settlement amounts may fall between $40,000 to $300,000 or more depending on the strength of the case and other individual factors.
Projected AFFF settlement figures are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation in the AFFF Lawsuit, they are merely projections based on knowledge of prior mass tort cases and settlements for cancer diagnosis.
