Question: Who are the defendants in the Firefighter Foam Cancer Lawsuit?
In short, the primary defendants in the Firefighter Foam Cancer Lawsuit are companies that manufactured and sold firefighting foam products in New Jersey for decades, despite allegedly being aware that these products released toxic and harmful chemicals into the environment.
The AFFF lawsuit claims that these companies produced and marketed aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) products that contain or degrade into chemicals known as PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonic acid) and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid).
On this page, we’ll discuss an overview of the Firefighter Foam Cancer Lawsuit, allegations made against defendants, potential health risks associated with AFFF exposure, and much more.
Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) is known for effectively extinguishing fires involving flammable liquids.
It forms a thin film on the fuel surface, suppressing the fire and preventing re-ignition.
AFFF poses significant risks to both human health and the environment due to the presence of toxic chemicals in its composition.
With the rising concern for safety surrounding AFFF, many affected individuals and families are suing AFFF manufacturers for their negligent practices.
Several companies have been named in the AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits.
Some of these defendants were involved in the negligent disposal of firefighting foam products, while others were involved in the detrimental health risks and effects of AFFF firefighting foam exposure.
Listed below are some of the most prominent company names involved in AFFF cancer lawsuits:

AFFF Lawsuit Update | Firefighting Foam Lawsuit
Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) is a specialized firefighting foam designed to combat Class B fires involving flammable liquids such as gasoline, jet fuel, and oil-based chemicals.
AFFF is used because of its rapid knockdown capabilities and ability to create a protective barrier over the liquid fuel, sealing it from oxygen which is needed for combustion.
This unique feature makes it ideal for handling fuel-based fires, including those occurring in aircraft hangars, industrial facilities, and fuel storage depots.
AFFF has applications in various situations, including aviation and marine firefighting, fuel spill emergencies, and large-scale industrial fires.
However, while the foam is effective in extinguishing fires, the chemicals present in AFFF can lead to severe health and environmental consequences.
AFFF may contain several toxic chemicals, the most significant of which are fluorosurfactants, which are categorized as PFAS chemicals.
Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS) are synthetic chemicals that do not break down easily in the environment, leading to their persistence and accumulation over time.
Exposure to AFFF can occur through various routes, including accidental ingestion, inhalation of fumes, and skin contact.
AFFF can impact people and the environment in a wide variety of ways.
Firefighters and emergency responders who frequently handle AFFF are at a heightened risk of exposure to toxic PFAS chemicals.
Even with proper protective measures, firefighters and emergency personnel may be at risk of exposure to PFAS through their skin or inhalation of vapor and foam particles, potentially leading to severe health issues over time.
AFFF can contaminate groundwater and surface water bodies for firefighting or training exercises.
The toxic PFAS chemicals can leach into the soil and eventually reach water sources, leading to widespread contamination.
Consuming water contaminated with PFAS can pose significant health risks to humans and wildlife.
Communities residing near firefighting foam manufacturing warehouses are also at risk of PFAS exposure.
Air and water contamination from these facilities can result in elevated PFAS levels in residents’ blood, raising concerns about adverse health effects and the need for strict regulations on AFFF production and handling.
AFFF may contain per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of synthetic chemicals known for their toxic and persistent nature in the environment.
Prolonged exposure to these chemicals has been associated with various diseases and disorders, making it crucial to understand the potential risks.
Cancer development is one of the most concerning health effects linked to AFFF exposure.
PFAS chemicals found in AFFF products have been classified as possible human carcinogens by reputable organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
Studies have shown an increased risk of certain conditions, including the following cancers:
Given the potential health risks associated with AFFF exposure, affected individuals may be eligible to seek legal recourse through firefighting foam cancer lawsuits.
Certain factors must be considered to determine eligibility for such cases:
Individuals who have been diagnosed with cancers, lung diseases, liver damage, abnormal child development, or thyroid diseases after prolonged exposure to AFFF may qualify for filing a firefighting foam cancer lawsuit.
Establishing a clear link between the disease and exposure to AFFF and PFAS chemicals is crucial.
Medical records, expert testimonies, and scientific studies can strengthen the case.
To strengthen their case, plaintiffs must provide evidence of prolonged exposure to AFFF.
Evidence can include work records, firefighting incident reports, and medical documentation detailing the nature and duration of exposure.
Additionally, testimonies from co-workers and fellow firefighters who can attest to the regular use of AFFF during firefighting operations can be invaluable.
Firefighting foam cancer lawsuits seek compensation for the financial burden of treating the disorder caused by AFFF exposure.
Medical bills, lost wages, and other related expenses can be claimed as part of the lawsuit.
Compensation may also cover future medical expenses and ongoing treatment costs for managing chronic health conditions resulting from AFFF exposure.
Personal injury claims and municipal water contamination cases have been consolidated into the AFFF Firefighting Foam MDL (MDL 2873).
The AFFF MDL groups claims from those who have suffered from occupational exposure to firefighting foam for consistency of decision-making and to speed up the process of the litigation.
Thousands of pending AFFF Lawsuits have been consolidated into the AFFF MDL.
If you want to know if you’re qualified to file an AFFF lawsuit, here are some steps to follow:
The first step in joining the ongoing firefighting foam MDL is to find a reliable AFFF attorney.
Selecting an attorney with experience in handling cases related to AFFF exposure and its toxic effects is crucial.
Look for law firms or firefighting foam attorneys specializing in environmental and toxic tort litigation.
A reputable attorney will have a track record of success in similar cases and possess the knowledge and resources to build a strong case on your behalf.
To qualify for legal action, you must provide evidence linking your health condition to AFFF exposure.
This evidence is essential in establishing a link between your exposure to AFFF and the resulting health issues.
Medical records, diagnoses, and other relevant documentation are critical in proving that your health condition directly results from exposure to AFFF during firefighting operations or other appropriate activities.
Your attorney will assist you in gathering the necessary evidence and help you organize it compellingly.
Working closely with your attorney, you will build a strong case that outlines the link between your health condition and AFFF exposure.
Your lawyer will assess and calculate damages related to your exposure to firefighting foam.
Damages are the total costs, economic and non-economic, associated with exposure to firefighting foam.
Damages in an AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuit may include:
Your attorney will present the evidence, medical records, expert testimonies, and other supporting documents to demonstrate causation and liability.
The MDL court will assess the merits of your case to determine whether it qualifies to be included in the consolidated proceedings.
If your case meets the necessary criteria, you will become a part of the MDL, benefiting from the efficiencies and resources provided by the consolidated litigation.
Exposure to forever chemicals in toxic firefighting foam has been linked to numerous health risks, including cancer diagnosis.
