"On June 14th of 2017, a deadly fire raced through the Grenfell apartment building in London. It killed 72 and injured over 100. Although the devastation may have occurred abroad, the decisions that led to it took place here in America. And the lawsuit that has been filed here in Philadelphia seeks justice for the victims of Grenfell (Towers)."

"The complaint that we have filed is on behalf of 69 of the families who lost loved ones, and 177 of the survivors who have sustained life-altering injuries. It is filed here in the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, and it names three defendants: The first defendant is Arconic Inc., and two of its related entities. Arconic is a Pennsylvania-based corporation. The second defendant is Celotex Corporation, another Pennsylvania-based corporation in Malvern. And the third defendant is Whirlpool Corporation from Michigan."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Robert J. Mongeluzzi, Attorney representing families:
"The cause and origin of the deadly spread of this fire were the decisions made by Pennsylvania corporations in Pennsylvania, regarding products that they now have withdrawn from the market because of their dangerous, defective and flammable nature."
7. Mongeluzzi during news conference, UPSOUND (English): "Twelve days after this accident, (Arconic) acknowledged that they supplied the Reynobond PE and that they've taken the decision to no longer provide this product in any high-rise application, regardless of local codes and regulations."
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeffrey P. Goodman, Attorney representing families:
"The fire that occurred on June 14th of 2017 started in a refrigerator that was manufactured by a Whirlpool subsidiary, Hotpoint. The fire started because there were flammable plastic components in the back of the refrigerator, which ignited and caused a fire. That fire spread to the exterior of the building and that is when it truly became uncontrollable. Once the fire reached the insulation that was manufactured by Celotex and the cladding that was manufactured by Arconic, it raced uncontrollably throughout the building due to their flammable nature."

STORYLINE:
Faulty building materials helped spread a devastating fire at London's Grenfell Tower in 2017, turning the residential complex into an inferno that killed 72 people, according to a product liability suit filed Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Nearly 250 survivors and families of victims joined the suit, which targets U.S. companies that made products used at the complex. The suit was filed in a state court in Philadelphia.
"The cause and origin of the deadly spread of this fire were the decisions made by Pennsylvania corporations in Pennsylvania, regarding products that they now have withdrawn from the market because of their dangerous, defective and flammable nature," said attorney Robert Mongeluzzi, who is known for winning huge legal awards over deadly construction accidents.
The lawsuit does not seek specific monetary damages. It would be up to a jury to decide how much money to award.
The Grenfell blaze started two years ago June 14 in an apartment refrigerator and raced up the side of the 24-story residential building. The building's exterior cladding was made of highly flammable material that can't be used in U.S. skyscrapers. The insulation was similarly combustible, according to the plaintiffs' lawyers.
The suit names refrigerator maker Whirlpool, based in Benton Harbor, Michigan; Pittsburgh-based cladding manufacturer Arconic Inc.; and insulation maker Celotex, whose corporate parent, French manufacturer Saint-Gobain, has its U.S. headquarters in the Philadelphia suburbs.
The plaintiffs include 177 survivors and relatives of 69 of the dead. Dozens of survivors suffered "life-altering physical, emotional and psychological injuries," the suit said.
The tower is in the North Kensington neighborhood, a working-class, multi-ethnic area next to some of the richest neighborhoods in Britain. Some observers asked whether hazards in the Grenfell complex, which had 120 apartments that housed as many as 600 people, were ignored because its residents were mainly poor.
