US companies sued over London’s deadly Grenfell Tower fire 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersDefects in products made by US 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. 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. “This case is filed in America to hold the American corporations responsible for the devastation and tragedy that they caused,” Goodman told a news conference. The two materials together “transformed a controllable blaze into a deadly inferno,” Goodman said.
