What is AFFF?
AFFF is a type of firefighting foam that was developed in the 1960s for use at airports. The foam quickly extinguished fires by forming a film on the surface of the fuel, thereby depriving the fire of oxygen. However, AFFF contains perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), which have been linked to a variety of health problems, including cancer, thyroid disease, pregnancy complications, and Immune system Disorders.
Despite these known risks, 3M and DuPont continued to manufacture and sell AFFF without warning consumers of the potential health hazards. As a result, thousands of people have been exposed to the harmful chemicals contained in the foam. If you or someone you love has been exposed to AFFF, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against 3M or DuPont.
