Chemicals in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) or "firefighting foam" may cause various types of cancer. If you were a firefighter or regularly exposed to AFFF and recently diagnosed with kidney, pancreatic, prostate, or testicular cancer, you may be able to file a lawsuit and get financial compensation. AFFF AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) is a type of firefighting foam that has been used by the U.S. military and airports for many years. The foam contains PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances), chemicals that can harm human health. MOSTLY CANCER LAWSUITS These chemicals have been linked to health problems such as cancer, liver damage, and immune system dysfunction. Most of the AFFF lawsuits our lawyers see are cancer claims. When AFFF is used to put out a fire, the chemicals can seep into the ground and contaminate the soil and water, which is why you have entire communities who have brought a fire-fighting foam lawsuit. NEVER TOLD OF HEALTH RISKS As a result, many people exposed to AFFF, including firefighters and residents living near airports and military bases, have filed lawsuits against the foam manufacturers, alleging that they knew about the potential health risks but failed to warn the public.
