AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuit Orangeburg, SC
Legal Help for Firefighters and Families Exposed to Toxic Foam
For decades, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been used to fight fuel-based fires at airports, military bases, industrial facilities, and fire departments. While effective at suppressing flames, many AFFF products contain chemicals known as PFAS (“forever chemicals”) that have been linked to serious health conditions, including various forms of cancer. If you or a loved one in Orangeburg, SC has been diagnosed with cancer or another serious illness after long-term exposure to firefighting foam, you may be eligible to pursue an AFFF firefighting foam lawsuit.

Understanding AFFF and PFAS Exposure
AFFF is commonly used to extinguish flammable liquid fires, especially in training exercises and emergency responses involving jet fuel, gasoline, or other petroleum products. The concern arises from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)–chemicals that can remain in the environment and the human body for years. Over time, repeated exposure can increase health risks for firefighters, military personnel, industrial workers, and people living near training facilities or accident sites.
When manufacturers fail to properly warn users about these dangers, or when they market products as safe despite known risks, they may be held responsible through product liability and toxic exposure claims.
