AFFF / PFAS Firefighting Foam Linked to
Cancers & Serious Health Conditions
If you or a loved one were exposed to AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) containing PFAS “forever chemicals” and developed cancer (kidney, testicular, etc.), thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, or other related illnesses, you may be entitled to significant compensation.
What is AFFF / PFAS?
Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is a firefighting foam widely used by the military, airports, fire departments, and industrial sites to extinguish fuel fires. It contains PFAS (“forever chemicals”) that do not break down in the environment or the human body.
Long-term exposure to PFAS from AFFF has been strongly linked to multiple cancers and other serious diseases.
AFFF / PFAS Linked to Multiple Cancers & Diseases
PFAS chemicals accumulate in the body and have been linked to numerous serious illnesses.
Linked Diseases
Kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid cancer, ulcerative colitis, liver damage, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, and immune system disorders.
Strong Evidence
- Decades of scientific studies on PFAS toxicity
- High blood levels in firefighters and military personnel
- Major EPA and CDC warnings
Manufacturers’ Alleged Failure
3M, DuPont, Chemours, Tyco and others are accused of knowing the dangers of PFAS for decades but continuing to sell AFFF without adequate warnings.
