Firefighting Foam Lawsuit

A product supposed to help extinguish difficult fires is under scrutiny due to dangerous chemicals and properties.

The product, firefighting foam or aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), is currently linked to various cancers among people exposed to it. As a result, the manufacturers who produce firefighting foams have been hit with incriminating lawsuits.

The lawsuits allege that the manufacturers deliberately withhold the product's dangers and risks to gain more profit. Unfortunately, many states and residents have been affected by the severe harm of firefighting foam and its effects, New York included.

Exposure to the aqueous foam can occur at work through direct contact or in the community due to contaminated water supplies from the foam.

Anyone in contact with the foam or ingests contaminated water runs a high risk of exposure and developing cancer.

If you have come in contact with firefighting foam or ingested water that has been contaminated with firefighting foam, it is imperative that you seek medical attention and the legal assistance of an attorney.

Enlisting an attorney knowledgeable in the lawsuits involving firefighting foam and experienced with representing clients in Sayville, NY, and throughout Suffolk County, New York is essential.

Those who come in contact with or ingest firefighting foam have been known to develop the following:

• Kidney/Renal Cancer
• Leukemia
• Testicular Cancer
• Pancreatic Cancer
• Lymphoma
• Bladder Cancer
• Breast Cancer
• Colon Cancer
• Liver Cancer
• Prostate Cancer
• Tumors

You could be entitled to compensation if you or a loved one has been exposed to firefighting foam or AFFF. It is vital to contact an attorney who is fighting against the manufacturers producing this harmful product.

AFFF has affected numerous people, including firefighters and innocent civilians. As a result, anyone who has developed cancer or a medical illness due to this hazardous product has the right to seek damages and hold the manufacturers accountable for their careless actions.
