AFFF Lawsuit: Firefighting Foam Class Action (2024)
Are you a service member or firefighter who used fire suppression materials? One of these materials, Aqueous Film-forming Foam (AFFF), contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, aka “forever chemicals”), which cause long-term health effects, including cancer.
There is rising awareness regarding PFAS and its effects on individual health. One substance attracting scrutiny is Aqueous Film-forming Foam (AFFF), a fire suppressant used by the U.S. military and firefighting districts.

As seen on:
Forever chemicals received that name because they persistently remain in an individual’s body long after exposure. AFFF was no different. Many firefighters and service members who used AFFF in the course of their duties reported cancer diagnoses, including kidney, thyroid, liver and testicular cancer. Others faced ulcerative colitis and thyroid disease.
The science is on the victims’ side–the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Cancer Society (ACS) acknowledge the cancer risk between PFAS and cancer. Also, the Department of Defense and AFFF manufacturers know of the danger, yet they have failed to protect people exposed to it.
If you are a service member or firefighter who used AFFF and developed cancer, you may be among the victims who have a claim against the U.S. military or AFFF manufacturers.
