FIRE FIGHTERS AFFF LAWSUIT

LEGAL RECOURSE FOR FIREFIGHTERS NATIONWIDE

Exposure to Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF), commonly used in firefighting, has raised serious health concerns due to its inclusion of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are sometimes referred to as "forever chemicals." These synthetic compounds are highly persistent in the environment and the human body, potentially leading to long-term health risks such as cancer, liver damage, immune system impairment, and developmental issues in children.

If you or a loved one have come into contact with AFFF, whether through direct firefighting activities, training exercises, or secondary exposure in contaminated areas, you may be at risk of developing severe health complications. Many individuals who have been exposed are now seeking legal recourse, as there is growing evidence linking PFAS to a variety of serious conditions. You could be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Taking legal action not only helps to cover the costs of your health care but also holds manufacturers accountable for the harm caused by these dangerous chemicals. Don’t wait—explore your options today to ensure that your rights are protected.

Have you come into contact with AFFF firefighting foam?


For decades, corporations like 3M, Chemguard, Tyco, and Dupont have developed and promoted products containing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), commonly referred to as AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam), a firefighting foam. This foam has been highly valued for its superior ability to rapidly suppress and extinguish fires involving jet fuel and other petroleum-based substances, making it a standard tool in high-risk firefighting environments. Its use has been widespread in military settings, civilian airports, and chemical plants, as well as in local fire departments for both training exercises and real-life operations.


The individuals most frequently exposed to AFFF include:


  • Firefighters: Regularly using AFFF during emergency fire responses and in training scenarios.
  • Military personnel: Particularly Navy personnel, as AFFF has been a crucial part of fire suppression on ships, aircraft carriers, and military bases.
  • Airport personnel: Ground staff, maintenance workers, and first responders at airports where jet fuel fires are a constant risk, frequently come into contact with AFFF.

Chemical plant employees: Workers in chemical manufacturing facilities where AFFF is used to contain or extinguish fires involving flammable chemicals.

Have you experienced cancer afterward?

Unfortunately, long-term exposure to PFAS chemicals found in AFFF has been linked to a host of serious health risks. PFAS are often called "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment and the human body. Scientific studies have connected PFAS exposure to numerous types of cancers, including:

  • Kidney cancer
  • Testicular cancer
  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Bladder cancer
  • Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma

Additionally, PFAS exposure is associated with other severe health conditions like thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, preeclampsia (a pregnancy complication), and prostate cancer. The ongoing accumulation of these toxic substances in the human body has led to widespread concern, prompting legal action against manufacturers for their role in the production and distribution of these dangerous chemicals. Many affected individuals are now seeking compensation for the health impacts resulting from their exposure to AFFF.
