Denver, CO – The AFFF lawsuit, a large-scale legal battle sweeping across the nation, involves plaintiffs who claim they have suffered health problems or environmental damage due to exposure to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), harmful chemicals found in Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF). The defendants, primarily chemical manufacturers, stand accused of intentionally concealing the detrimental impacts of long-term PFAS exposure on both individuals and the environment.

With its in-depth coverage and analysis, LawsuitLegalNews.com brings detailed updates on this high-profile case. The website’s August 2023 coverage highlights the significant progress in the numerous pending litigations across the country, with cases now moving to the next stages of the legal process. This advancement brings plaintiffs closer to potentially achieving the justice they seek.

This update also sheds light on the latest scientific research, strengthening the link between PFAS exposure and various health conditions. These revelations fortify the plaintiff’s case and increase pressure on the defendants.

LawsuitLegalNews.com emphasizes that the lawsuit’s scope has broadened over time. Initially focusing on firefighters and military personnel, the lawsuit now includes communities residing near military bases, airports, and fire training facilities who claim that PFAS-contaminated drinking water has impacted their health and property.

AFFF is made with forever chemicals which make it resistant to breaking down safely in the environment. AFFF that is not properly disposed of can easily seep into the water table and end up in the bodies of local residents and wildlife. Areas that see the regular use of AFFF, such as military bases, airports, and firefighter training facilities have been tested and show dangerous levels of PFAS in the water.

People that live in the vicinity of sites where AFFF is used on a regular basis are at an increased risk of exposure to harmful PFAS that can increase their risk of cancer and other serious health concerns.

AFFF is most notably tied to an increase in cancer risk. The following are the most common types of cancer that have been linked to AFFF exposure:

• Bladder cancer
• Kidney cancer
• Pancreatic cancer
• Testicular cancer
• Liver cancer
• Breast cancer
• Leukemia
• Lymphoma
• Ovarian cancer
• Prostate cancer
