ATTENTION! The Government Failed to Protect You
AFFF Exposure Has Put Millions at Risk
For over 50 years, the Department of Defense required the use of firefighting foam containing PFAS (AFFF), resulting in contamination at over 700 military sites across all 50 states. AFFF, commonly used on Navy aircraft carriers to combat aviation fuel fires, contains "forever chemicals" that are resistant to grease, water, and stains but do not break down in the environment or human body. When used, PFAS leach into soil and nearby drinking water, accumulating over time and increasing the risk of serious health problems. Millions of people—military personnel, nearby communities, civilian airports, and firefighting training centers—have likely been exposed. This widespread contamination is further acknowledged by a recent $10.3 billion settlement between 3M and public water providers.
PFAS exposure has been linked to various serious health issues, including certain cancers, reproductive and developmental harm, and immune system damage. The U.S. Department of Defense updated its requirements for firefighting foam in January 2023, but the harm caused by PFAS persists. These chemicals remain in the body for years and can continue to develop into health problems. Scientific studies have connected PFAS exposure to the following conditions:
Kidney cancer
Liver cancer
Testicular cancer
Thyroid disease and thyroid cancer
Ulcerative colitis
The government has a duty to protect its citizens from harmful substances, not expose them to dangerous chemicals like PFAS. Public health should always come before cost-saving measures, ensuring a healthier future for everyone. Those affected by AFFF and PFAS exposure deserve justice—not only recognition for the harm they’ve suffered but also access to proper healthcare, cleanup, and fair compensation. It’s time to hold the responsible parties accountable and seek justice for those harmed.
As of November 2024, several settlements and legal developments have emerged in the lawsuits regarding aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) containing PFAS chemicals, which are linked to cancer and environmental contamination.
3M Settlement: $10.3 billion
DuPont, Chemours, and Corteva: $4 Billion
Tyco Fire Products (Johnson Controls): $17.5 Million
Kidde-Fenwal and Carrier Globa: 730 million
Litigation Notification is dedicated to assisting individuals and families affected by aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) exposure in seeking justice and securing maximum compensation. AFFF, containing toxic PFAS chemicals, has been linked to severe health conditions, including various cancers and environmental damage. Victims who have developed cancer due to AFFF exposure can file lawsuits to recover costs associated with their recovery, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress. Over 6,500 firefighters have already taken action, demonstrating that you are not alone in this fight. However, time is limited—do not wait to explore your options. Litigation Notification emphasizes compassionate, personalized service and remains committed to holding negligent parties accountable and achieving fair outcomes for those impacted.
