About the AFFF Firefighting Foam litigation
Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been used for decades by military and civilian firefighters to suppress fuel fires. AFFF contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called "forever chemicals" because they persist in the human body and environment for years.
Studies have linked PFAS exposure to kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, and other serious conditions. Lawsuits allege that foam manufacturers knew about these dangers for decades while continuing to market AFFF to fire departments, airports, and military installations.
If you worked with or around AFFF — as a firefighter, military service member, airport worker, or industrial worker — and were later diagnosed with cancer or another PFAS-related condition, you may qualify for compensation.
