AFFF Firefighting Foam
If you or a loved one were exposed to firefighting foam while on the job and have been recently diagnosed with cancer, you may be eligible for compensation through a class-action lawsuit. The Cheek Law Firm is available to represent new clients in the national AFFF class-action lawsuit.
What is AFFF Firefighting Foam?
Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is a powerful fire suppressant used by firefighters to extinguish flammable liquid pool fires. It contains artificial chemical compounds known as Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), which are difficult to break down and have been linked to various cancers.
Risks Associated with AFFF Firefighting Foam
Studies have linked PFAS in AFFF to several types of cancer, including:
Kidney Cancer
Testicular Cancer
Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid Disease
Liver Cancer
Ulcerative Colitis
Exposure to AFFF has been associated with other serious health conditions, such as respiratory issues, skin disorders, and reproductive issues. Those with regular or significant exposure to firefighting foam during their job, such as firefighters, military members, or airport workers, may qualify to join the lawsuit.
