AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuit

About AFFF and PFAS Exposure

AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) is a firefighting foam used by military bases, airports, and fire departments for decades. Unfortunately, the foam contains PFAS — known as “forever chemicals” — that can accumulate in the body and have been linked to multiple types of cancer.

Manufacturers of AFFF are now facing thousands of lawsuits for knowingly exposing users and communities to toxic chemicals without proper warnings. You may be entitled to compensation if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer or other serious illnesses after AFFF exposure.

Who Can File an AFFF Lawsuit?

You may qualify to file a lawsuit if you:

Worked as a firefighter, airport crew, or military personnel
Were regularly exposed to AFFF foam
Have been diagnosed with one of the related cancers or illnesses

Even family members in communities near military bases or airports may be affected by PFAS-contaminated water.
