Summary
- AFFF is a fire-fighting foam used mainly by the military
- AFFF contains PFAS that can build up in the human body
- Connections have been established between AFFF and liver cancer risks
For decades, one of the most widely used fire-fighting foams was aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). It was an effective option that was primarily found in military settings but was also common around civilian populations.
Recently, however, a number of AFFF liver cancer lawsuits have come to the forefront, alleging a connection between the substance and this type of cancer. If you’ve experienced liver cancer and were exposed to this fire retardant, you may be eligible to file an AFFF lawsuit to recover your losses.

Understanding the AFFF-Cancer Connection
One of the reasons AFFF is so effective is that it contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals. As their name suggests, these chemicals don’t degrade easily, so they last in the body for decades if consumed or otherwise absorbed.
Those who were exposed to AFFF can build up high levels of PFAS in the blood and in organs that work to filtrate your body of wastes and toxins. The liver is one of these organs. Over time, PFAS can impact the way your liver functions and make the development of hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma more likely.
AFFF Liver Cancer Lawsuit Eligibility
To be able to file a lawsuit, you must have experienced AFFF exposure symptoms that led to a liver cancer diagnosis. This means you will need to be able to prove that you were exposed to the fire-fighting foam as well. To do so, you may be able to rely on your work records or show that you were living near an area where AFFF was in use.
