AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuits and Safety Concerns
Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) is a firefighting foam used for decades to suppress fuel-based fires. It has been widely used by firefighters, military personnel, airport crews, and industrial workers.
While effective at fighting fires, AFFF contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), toxic chemicals that do not break down in the environment or the human body. Studies have linked PFAS exposure to serious health conditions, including multiple forms of cancer.
As evidence continues to emerge, thousands of lawsuits have been filed nationwide.
Carabin Law is reviewing AFFF firefighting foam claims for individuals harmed by PFAS exposure in Texas.
What Are PFAS Chemicals?
PFAS are man-made chemicals used for their resistance to heat, oil, and water. Once released, PFAS can contaminate:
Drinking water
Soil and groundwater
Food supplies
The human bloodstream
Medical research has shown that PFAS exposure may interfere with hormone function, immune response, and cell growth.
Health Conditions Linked to AFFF Exposure
Scientific studies and government investigations have linked PFAS exposure to serious health risks, including:
Kidney cancer
Testicular cancer
Liver cancer
Prostate cancer
Thyroid disease
Ulcerative colitis
High cholesterol
Immune system dysfunction
Many individuals were exposed repeatedly over years without being warned of these risks.
Who Is Most at Risk?
People with elevated exposure to AFFF may include:
Firefighters (career and volunteer)
Military service members
Airport and aviation firefighters
Industrial and refinery workers
Residents near military bases or airports
Exposure may have occurred through direct contact, inhalation, or contaminated drinking water.
