The use of AFFF by firefighters, particularly in military settings, has been linked to an increased risk of developing Ulcerative Colitis.
AFFF contains PFAS, a group of toxic chemicals, which are believed to be a significant environmental risk factor for Ulcerative Colitis.
Lawsuits have been filed against manufacturers of AFFF, alleging that they knew about the health risks but failed to adequately warn users.
On this page, we’ll discuss the AFFF Ulcerative Colitis Lawsuit, risks associated with AFFF firefighting foam and Ulcerative Colitis, how to file an AFFF Ulcerative Colitis Lawsuit, and much more.
Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) is a chemical that has been used to extinguish highly flammable liquid- or gas-fueled fires since the 1960s.
AFFF firefighting foam contains PFAS chemicals, also known as forever chemicals, which have been linked to numerous types of cancer, ulcerative colitis, and other serious health risks.
AFFF Lawsuits are being filed across the country by individuals who have suffered ulcerative colitis and other health problems subsequent to AFFF exposure.
If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, cancer, or any other related health problems, you may be eligible to file an AFFF Firefighting Foam Lawsuit.

Our law firm is helping individuals file personal injury claims for AFFF exposure.
Firefighting foam products have been linked to numerous health risks, and firefighting foam manufacturers are facing targeted legal action from individuals exposed.
Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask us any questions you may have about your potential Firefighting Foam Lawsuit.
AFFF, a foam concentrate designed to suppress and extinguish fires, contains per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) chemicals, which are highly persistent in the environment and can accumulate in the human body.
Studies have suggested a link between exposure to the toxic chemicals and various health problems, including ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
Characterized by inflammation and ulcers in the lining of the colon and rectum, ulcerative colitis can be a debilitating condition.
Ulcerative colitis symptoms can range from mild to severe, including:
Ulcerative colitis significantly affects an individual’s quality of life and requires ongoing medical treatment.
The auto-immune condition can also lead to severe complications such as colon cancer and an increased risk of blood clots, infections, and kidney stones.
Studies linking exposure to PFAS chemicals and ulcerative colitis include:
The risk of developing ulcerative colitis increases with exposure to AFFF.
Apart from direct exposure, forever chemicals in the toxic firefighting foam can also enter drinking water, air, and soil.
AFFF can also be released into the environment through improper disposal, potentially leading to contamination of food and other products.
Chemical manufacturers and the U.S. Navy, who first approved AFFF firefighting foam for use, knew about its toxic effects for decades.
Urged by the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Defense finally submitted an official warningstating that the dangerous chemicals in AFFF present an increased risk for serious health problems and environmental contamination.
In a number of research studies, PFAS have been linked to an increased risk for cancer and other serious health problems.
With the number of chemicals used in firefighting foam, its health impacts are widespread.
The health of airport firefighters, military firefighters, chemical plant workers, and workers who transport and manufacture firefighting foam is especially at risk.
Studies on the links between AFFF exposure and health problems include the following:
Cancers that have been associated with PFAS chemicals include:
Other health problems associated with PFAS chemicals include:
The AFFF lawsuit is a legal action initiated by individuals suffering harm from AFFF exposure, including ulcerative colitis and other health conditions.
These firefighting foam cancer lawsuits seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages that exposure to AFFF has caused.
For coordinated pretrial proceedings, almost 6,000 individual AFFF foam lawsuits have been consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL 2873).
The AFFF firefighting foam MDL is overseen by U.S. District Judge Richard M. Gergel in the U.S. District Court: District of South Carolina.
The AFFF MDL allows plaintiffs to share resources, coordinate evidence, and present a unified case against defendants.
Plaintiffs allege that the companies manufacturing AFFF knew about its toxicity yet marketed it without adequate warnings and failed to take action to reduce the risk of exposure.
The defendants in AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits include manufacturers and distributors of AFFF products.
Defendants named in the AFFF MDL include:
Plaintiffs accuse these AFFF manufacturers of failing to adequately warn about the health risks associated with their products.
The AFFF litigation is still ongoing for AFFF lawsuits filed by individuals.
A successful AFFF firefighting foam lawsuit will present detailed information on exposure to firefighting foam, medical bills and records outlining treatment, and more to validate the claim.
These factors will determine an adequate settlement amount for a given AFFF lawsuit.
No settlements have been reached in the AFFF litigation as of yet, but lawyers estimate that AFFF lawsuit settlement amounts may fall between $40,000 to $300,000 or more depending on the strength of the case and other individual factors.
These settlement figures are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation in the AFFF Lawsuit, they are merely projections based on knowledge of prior mass tort cases and settlements for cancer diagnosis.
3M, the largest manufacturer of AFFF foam in the list of defendants, agreed to pay at least $10.3 billion in an AFFF lawsuit settlement for municipal water contamination cases.
This settlement would help clean up PFAS contamination in public drinking water systems nationwide

No, there is not an AFFF Class Action Lawsuit.
AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits are consolidated into multidistrict litigation (MDL).
The AFFF MDL centralizes all AFFF firefighting foam lawsuits into one single federal court to ensure the consistency of decision-making and the streamlining of the litigation.
MDL is different and distinct from class action lawsuits, as plaintiffs in MDLs retain individuality.
In an MDL settlement, compensation is distributed to plaintiffs according to the facts and circumstances in each individual case.
In a class action settlement, compensation is divided evenly among all claimants regardless of their individual circumstances.
Law firms often incorrectly use the terms “AFFF Class Action Lawsuit” or “AFFF Class Action MDL”, but these terms are incorrect.
Current AFFF Lawsuits and pending AFFF Lawsuits are consolidated into multidistrict litigation.
Multidistrict litigation, commonly referred to as MDL, is a special federal legal procedure designed to speed the process of handling complex litigations by consolidating cases and addressing all pretrial procedures in one court.
When a large number of people who have all been affected by the same thing file individual lawsuits, the federal court system allows for the consolidation of these cases into an MDL to make them easier to manage.
The original lawsuits do not have to be in the same state.
MDLs take cases from multiple federal districts (each state has at least one district), and puts them into one district court.
This single district court, and one judge, then address all the discovery and pretrial procedures that apply to every case – cutting the costs and amount of resources needed, and keeping court rulings consistent with similar cases.
No settlements have been reached in the AFFF litigation as of yet, but lawyers estimate that AFFF lawsuit settlement amounts may fall between $40,000 to $300,000 or more depending on the strength of the case and other individual factors.
These settlement figures are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation in the AFFF Lawsuit, they are merely projections based on knowledge of prior mass tort cases and settlements for cancer diagnosis.
