Firefighting foam, also known as aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), has been at the center of a significant legal battle in the United States due to its potential link to various types of cancer. The foam contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals,” which have been associated with serious health conditions and water contamination.
Numerous lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers of AFFF, with plaintiffs being primarily firefighters and individuals who were regularly exposed to the foam. The lawsuits claim that exposure to AFFF has led to the development of cancers such as kidney, pancreatic, prostate, and testicular cancer. In response to the increasing number of cases, the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation (JPMDL) ordered the consolidation of all federal AFFF lawsuits to the United States Federal Court in the District of South Carolina for coordinated handling.
Overall, the AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits continue to evolve, and the situation is closely monitored by legal professionals representing the victims.
