What's behind AFFF Firefighting Foam claims?
Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been used for decades by military and civilian firefighters to extinguish fuel-based fires. The foam contains PFAS ("forever chemicals"), which have been linked through occupational and environmental exposure to an increased risk of kidney cancer, testicular cancer, and other serious health conditions.
Claims allege that foam manufacturers knew about the risks of PFAS exposure and failed to warn firefighters and other personnel who handled the product regularly. Litigation is consolidated in a federal MDL.
