What is the AFFF Lawsuit?

Overview of the AFFF Firefighter Foam Lawsuit Information

What is Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF)?

Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) is a specialized firefighting foam designed to combat liquid fires, particularly those fueled by substances such as oil, jet fuel, and various industrial chemicals. This foam works by mixing with water to create a film that effectively cuts off the fire’s oxygen supply, thereby preventing re-ignition.

Since its introduction in the 1970s, AFFF has been produced through a partnership between 3M and the United States Navy. While it has been banned in certain regions, it is still permitted for use in critical emergency situations.
