Firefighters and military personnel exposed to PFAS "Forever Chemicals" in foam are developing kidney, testicular, and other cancers. 3M and DuPont are facing billions in liability. Discover if you qualify for an AFFF settlement payout.
Note: Individual toxic exposure injury claims are ongoing in MDL 2873.
Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) has been the standard for fuel fire suppression for decades. However, its formula relies on Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—toxic chemicals that do not break down in the human body. These "Forever Chemicals" are the foundation of the AFFF firefighting foam cancer lawsuit.
Manufacturers like 3M, DuPont, and Tyco allegedly concealed the health risks of PFAS since the 1970s. Today, thousands of personal injury claims are moving forward as scientific evidence links foam exposure to severe illness.

While 3M and DuPont reached an $11.8 billion settlement with public water utilities, personal injury lawsuits for firefighters are still active. These claims are consolidated in MDL 2873, and individual settlements are expected as bellwether trials progress.
You typically need proof of occupational foam use (service records, employment history) and medical records confirming a diagnosis of related diseases like kidney or testicular cancer.
PFAS chemicals are bio-persistent, meaning they remain in the body for decades. You can still file a claim for past exposure if your diagnosis falls within the legal time limits defined by your state's "discovery rule."
Most AFFF claims are individual lawsuits consolidated into a Multi-District Litigation (MDL). Unlike a class action where everyone splits one payout, an MDL allows your settlement to be based on your unique injuries and suffering.
