AFFF Lawsuit News & Updates HubWhat is AFFF?
AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) is a firefighting foam designed to extinguish flammable liquid fires. It has been widely used by firefighters, military personnel, and airport crash rescue teams for decades.
AFFF contains PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down in the environment or the human body. These chemicals accumulate over time and have been linked to serious health conditions including kidney cancer, testicular cancer, ulcerative colitis, and other cancers and illnesses.
Who May Be at Risk?
Career Firefighters
Municipal and industrial firefighters who used AFFF regularly
Military Personnel
Service members at bases where AFFF was used for training and emergencies
Airport Workers
Crash rescue personnel and airport firefighting crews
Industrial Workers
Employees at refineries and chemical plants using foam suppression
AFFF & Kidney Cancer
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified PFOA—a PFAS chemical found in AFFF—as Group 1 carcinogenic to humans, with sufficient evidence linking it to kidney cancer. Firefighters, military personnel, and others with occupational or repeated AFFF exposure who were later diagnosed with kidney cancer may have grounds for a claim. Lawsuits allege that manufacturers knew or should have known about the risks and failed to adequately warn users.

AFFF & Testicular Cancer
IARC has identified limited evidence linking PFOA (a PFAS in AFFF) to testicular cancer. Military personnel, firefighters, and other workers with significant AFFF exposure who were later diagnosed with testicular cancer may be eligible to pursue a claim. Plaintiffs in the AFFF MDL allege that exposure to PFAS in firefighting foam contributed to their cancer and that manufacturers failed to warn of the risks.
If you were exposed to AFFF and developed testicular cancer, you may qualify for a free case review. Start a free case review to see if you may be connected with a law firm handling AFFF testicular cancer claims.
AFFF & Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Scientific and medical research has associated PFAS exposure with immune and digestive effects, including ulcerative colitis. Firefighters, military personnel, and others who were exposed to AFFF and later diagnosed with ulcerative colitis may have grounds for a claim. Lawsuits allege that PFAS in firefighting foam contributed to these conditions and that manufacturers did not adequately warn users.
