The 420-page lawsuit demands a jury trial but did not specify the amount of compensation it was seeking.

The plaintiffs’ attorneys said the case marks one of the highest number of individual wrongful death and personal injury claims ever brought in a single product liability lawsuit stemming from one incident.

In addition to Whirlpool, based in Benton Harbor, Michigan, the suit names as defendants cladding supplier Arconic Inc , headquartered in Pittsburgh, and insulation maker Celotex Corp, a US subsidiary of French multinational Saint-Gobain, based outside Philadelphia. Fire safety experts found that the blaze started on the fourth floor of the 24-floor building on June 14, 2017, ignited the exterior cladding and raced up the structure’s facade to the top floor within half an hour.
