Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) has been used to suppress dangerous fires in settings such as military bases, airports, chemical manufacturing plants, and other industrial facilities since it was first produced in the 1960s by 3M and the US Navy.
AFFF firefighting foam contains PFAS chemicals, also known as “forever chemicals”, that have been linked to several types of cancer and other health problems.

If you or a loved one have been exposed to AFFF and subsequently received a cancer diagnosis, you may be eligible to file a Firefighting Foam Cancer Lawsuit.
These lawsuits aim to hold AFFF manufacturers liable for injuries and damages associated with AFFF exposure.

Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) contains Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS).
PFAS chemicals have been found to be carcinogenic and dangerous for human health.

People who may have been regularly exposed to firefighting foam are typically people whose work duties include using or transporting firefighting foam products. Individuals are also may suffer PFAS exposure through contaminated drinking water.
People who are most likely to suffer from occupational exposure to PFAS in firefighting foam include:
