    FIRE FOAM MAY GIVE YOU CANCER

    PFAS used in Firefighting Foam may be Carcinogenic

    Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is a highly effective firefighting foam, commonly used in airports, military bases, and other facilities for controlling fires involving petroleum or fuel. However, AFFF contains high levels of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), chemicals that have raised significant health concerns. PFAS are now linked to various serious health issues, including cancer. Prolonged exposure to these substances is being scrutinized for its potential carcinogenic effects, with many individuals exposed to these chemicals now seeking justice through legal action.

    AFFF Lawsuit

    Plaintiffs are filing cases in court claiming that the use of Firefighting foam exposed them to Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) which led them to develop cancer. Multiple lawsuits are currently undergoing trials.

    The City of Stuart v. 3M Co., et al., an ongoing trial, claims that the city’s water supply is also contaminated with PFAS due to firefighting foam products. A huge settlement would take place if the claimants were proved right. Meanwhile, a study conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) further confirms the presence of PFAS in firefighting foam.

    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have started the National Firefighter Registry (NFR) to better understand the relationship between cancer and firefighters. The number of lawsuits filed is expected to increase.

    The Have A Lawyer team of AFFF firefighting foam currently accepting new cases for the AFFF lawsuit. We are helping individuals seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from PFAS exposure and related health conditions.

    FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is a type of firefighting foam used to extinguish fires, particularly those involving petroleum-based fuels like gasoline, oil, and jet fuel. It is widely used in airports, military bases, and industrial facilities.

    PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a group of human-made chemicals used in AFFF and other products due to their water- and grease-resistant properties. PFAS have been linked to serious health issues, including cancer, liver damage, and immune system disruption.

    Prolonged exposure to PFAS in AFFF can lead to various health problems, including several types of cancer (e.g., kidney, liver, testicular, and breast cancer), developmental issues, liver damage, immune system dysfunction, and other life-threatening conditions.

    Individuals who have worked with or around AFFF, such as firefighters, military personnel, airport staff, and workers in industrial settings, are at the highest risk. Those living near areas where AFFF has been used may also be exposed.

    Exposure to PFAS in AFFF has been linked to a variety of serious health conditions, including:
    • Cancer (kidney, liver, testicular, and breast cancer)
    • Liver damage
    • Immune system disruption
    • Thyroid disease
    • Developmental and reproductive issues
    • High cholesterol

    Yes, if you’ve been exposed to AFFF and developed health issues, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Our team of experienced attorneys can help you pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

    Compensation may include:
    • Medical expenses related to the treatment of health conditions caused by PFAS exposure
    • Lost wages and future earnings
    • Pain and suffering
    • Punitive damages (to hold companies accountable)
    • Other related damages

    The time frame to file a lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations, varies depending on your jurisdiction. It is important to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure your case is filed within the legal time limits.

    To start your AFFF lawsuit, contact a lawyer experienced in handling PFAS-related cases. Our team will evaluate your case, collect evidence, and guide you through the legal process to help secure the compensation you deserve.
