A NH homeowner who discovers their home has a urea-formaldehyde foam insulation (UFFI) issue should know that:

CUFFI is only a concern in attics, not walls
DUFFI must be removed before any sale in NH
Explanation
UFFI was banned for residential use by the CPSC in the 1980s (later overturned but still controversial). Its presence should be disclosed as a material fact, and testing for formaldehyde levels may be warranted.
