What the lawsuits allege
AFFF was the standard fire-suppression foam on military bases, airports, and fire departments for fifty years. The litigation alleges manufacturers knew PFAS compounds accumulate in the human body and do not break down, yet concealed those dangers. The federal multidistrict litigation in South Carolina is among the largest in the country, and municipal water-contamination claims have already settled for billions.
Personal injury claims by firefighters, military personnel, and airport workers continue to be filed.
Injuries named in the litigation
- Kidney cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Thyroid disease and thyroid cancer
- Ulcerative colitis
- Liver and pancreatic cancer alleged in filings
