AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuit

If you were exposed to AFFF firefighting foam and later diagnosed with cancer, you may be entitled to compensation — find out at no cost.

Why This Case Exists

Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been used for decades by military and civilian firefighters to extinguish fuel-based fires. AFFF contains PFAS ("forever chemicals") that do not break down in the body or environment. Lawsuits allege that AFFF manufacturers knew or should have known about the link between PFAS exposure and cancer and other serious illnesses, and failed to warn firefighters, military personnel, and airport crews who used or were exposed to the foam regularly.

Who May Be Eligible

You may have a claim if you were regularly exposed to AFFF — for example, as a military firefighter, municipal or civilian firefighter, airport/ARFF crew member, or industrial worker — and were later diagnosed with a condition such as:

  • Kidney cancer or testicular cancer
  • Thyroid disease or thyroid cancer
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Other cancers, including bladder, pancreatic, or liver cancer
