Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) is a vital firefighting tool for combating flammable liquid fires or fires caused by combustible liquid agents.

Produced in collaboration between the US Navy and 3M, AFFF firefighting foam was widely used by many military branches and eventually found uses at municipal airports and other locations at risk of highly flammable liquid fires.

AFFF concentrate transforms into a foam solution with unique properties upon contact with water.

Unlike most fire extinguishing agents, AFFF distinguishes itself through its remarkable capacity to rapidly expand across the surface of flammable liquids.

AFFF forms a blanket over flames and their causative agents and effectively segregates the fuel source from the surrounding air. As a result, the flames die out and no rekindling occurs.

A significant ingredient that enables AFFF firefighting foam to serve its purpose is per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances.

PFAS chemicals – also known as “forever chemicals” – increase the shelf life of AFFF firefighting foam and contributes to the firefighting foam’s effectiveness.

Unfortunately, these “forever chemicals” are known to cause various illnesses and have been deemed health and environmental threats by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other organizations.

AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuits are being filed against firefighting foam manufacturers by individuals exposed to firefighting foam who have subsequently developed cancer or other health issues.

AFFF Lawsuits are backed by individual medical evidence presented by each plaintiff, as well as records, documents, and scientific evidence that exposes the links between AFFF exposure and cancer diagnosis, among other health conditions.

Personal injury claims for AFFF exposure have been consolidated into the AFFF Firefighting Foam MDL, centralized in the US District Court for the District of South Carolina.

Municipal water contamination cases have also been filed against AFFF manufacturers by governmental bodies and water agencies.

Municipal water contamination cases claim that improper disposal and dumping of AFFF firefighting foam resulted in groundwater contamination.

If you or a loved one were exposed to AFFF firefighting foam and subsequently developed cancer or other related health problems, you may be eligible to file an AFFF Lawsuit.
