Firefighting Foam Lawsuit

Firefighting Foam Lawsuit Overview

If you or a loved one have been affected by health issues related to exposure to firefighting foam, you may be eligible to pursue legal action. Firefighting foam, particularly those containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), has been linked to serious health problems, including cancers and other chronic conditions.

What is Firefighting Foam?

Firefighting foam, used primarily for extinguishing flammable liquid fires, contains PFAS chemicals. These chemicals are known for their effectiveness in suppressing fires but are also associated with significant environmental and health risks. PFAS, sometimes referred to as “forever chemicals,” do not break down easily in the environment and can accumulate in the human body over time.
