U.S. companies sued over London's deadly Grenfell Tower fire

- Defects in products made by U.S. companies ignited and fueled the catastrophic 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London that killed 72 people, according to a lawsuit filed in Philadelphia on Tuesday on behalf of injured victims and families of those killed.

The 420-page lawsuit demands a jury trial but did not specify the amount of compensation it was seeking. Those materials “turned the Grenfell Tower into a cylinder of fire,” Jeffrey Goodman, an attorney for one of two law firms that brought the case, told a news conference in Philadelphia. Whirlpool told owners of its products “that they are safe and they can continue to use them as normal.” It said that a probe by British regulators and its own internal investigation “found no evidence of any fault” with the refrigerator model in question.Celotex could not immediately be reached for comment. Last month it said that it was “cooperating fully with the public inquiry regarding Grenfell Tower.

Somehow knew that was coming.

Good. Hold anyone who was involved accountable ✊
