Lawsuits allege that aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) — used for decades by firefighters, military personnel, and airport crews — contains PFAS "forever chemicals" linked to serious cancers.
AFFF is a firefighting foam used to extinguish fuel fires. It contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — synthetic chemicals that persist in the body and the environment and have been associated with kidney cancer, testicular cancer, and other diseases.
Firefighters, military service members, and airport workers were routinely exposed during training exercises and emergency responses, often without protective guidance about the chemical risks.
Thousands of lawsuits have been consolidated into a federal MDL in the District of South Carolina. Some water-contamination claims within the MDL have already reached significant settlements, while personal-injury claims continue to move forward.
The AFFF MDL in South Carolina remains active. Water-provider settlements have been announced, and personal-injury claims are proceeding through coordinated litigation.
