AFFF firefighting foam has been used for decades to put out fires fueled by chemicals like gasoline. New research has shown that prolonged exposure to the chemicals in AFFF can cause cancer, leading to thousands of lawsuits across the country. Anyone who served in the Navy had a high risk of being exposed to AFFF. In this post, we will look at the connection between AFFF and cancer and why men and women and who were in the Navy may have been exposed to AFFF.

About AFFF Firefighting Foam

AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) is a type of firefighting foam that is specifically designed to extinguish liquid fuel fires, particularly those involving jet fuels such as JP-5 and JP-8 used in aircraft. AFFF works by forming a film or blanket of foam over the fuel, which suppresses the fire by separating the fuel from oxygen and cooling the fuel surface.

Our firm does not buy mass tort leads for many reasons, not the least of which is that we do not believe mass tort lead generation companies deliver quality claims. But it goes deeper than that. There is nothing morally or ethically wrong with buying mass tort leads. But it just feels icky, at least to us.

That said, I follow the pricing pretty closely. Why? It is the closest thing we have to a free market economy that produces the expectations associated with certain pieces of mass tort litigation.

July 2024 Lead Cost Numbers Out of Kilter

Last year, a new study by NIH revealed that regular use of chemical hair relaxer products can significantly increase the risk of uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and other hormone-related diseases. The publication of this study has been followed by a growing wave of hair relaxer lawsuits by women who have used hair relaxer products for years and were diagnosed with one of these conditions.

This post will examine how the hair relaxer litigation has developed over the last six months. We will also explain the status of the hair relaxer class action as of July 2024 and give our predictions of what to expect from this mass tort moving forward.

Paraquat is a commercial-grade herbicide used in the agriculture industry. Over the last decade, new scientific research has shown that frequent use or exposure to Paraquat can increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease. This discovery has prompted thousands of Paraquat lawsuits by individuals who used or were around Paraquat in an occupation setting and subsequently developed Parkinson’s disease.

The Paraquat lawsuits were consolidated into a class action MDL in the Southern District of Illinois (In re: Paraquat Prod. Liab. Lit. – 3:21-MD-3004).  The Paraquat MDL is now heading into its 3rd year and 2024 could potentially be a pivotal year for this mass tort. The first round of bellwether test trials were basically canceled after the MDL Judge excluded most of the plaintiffs’ key expert witness testimony. Now the parties are quickly preparing a new group of test cases for bellwether trials, which probably won’t happen until early 2025 (or even later).

This page talks about where this litigation is in June 2024, and what we can expect moving forward.

Our lawyers are reviewing EzriCare lawsuits in all 50 states after artificial tears eye drops have been linked to an outbreak of bacterial infections.  Our lawyers have handled many vision loss and infection lawsuits so we are jumping on this litigation.

One person has died from the infection, and other victims have suffered blindness, vision loss and disturbances,  and other complications from an infection.  There have been more than 55 reports of adverse events.

How did this happen?  We don’t know.  But we think an investigation will show negligence.  These eye drops lawsuits could bring large settlement payouts because the injuries for many will be very significant.
