    Firefighting Foam Lawsuit

    Firefighting foam, also known as aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), is a type of fire suppressant used by the military and civilian fire departments for decades. However, AFFF contains per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are linked to severe health issues such as cancer, liver damage, and immune system suppression.

    Filing A Firefighting Claim

    As a result, many individuals and communities across the United States have filed lawsuits against manufacturers of AFFF, alleging that they knew or should have known about the risks associated with PFAS and failed to warn consumers. These lawsuits seek compensation for damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

    Some of the significant manufacturers of AFFF that have faced lawsuits include 3M, Chemours, and DuPont. In addition to individual lawsuits, class-action lawsuits have been filed on behalf of communities and groups affected by PFAS contamination from AFFF.

    Suppose you have been exposed to PFAS through AFFF and have suffered health issues. As a result, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the manufacturers. It’s essential to file a claim so that we can help you evaluate your legal options and navigate the complex legal process.
