The lawsuit against foam makers is baseless, foam will now all be made in China and only local US distributors & US insurance companies will get hit.
The owners chose to use the wrong foam for their nightclub because they were cheap bastards-not because they didn't know the proper foam to use.
I see no foam manufacturer liability here even if they sold foam that was flammable to a distributor that sold it to the club. I'm sure they didn't warrant it to be flame proof.
The victims need to pierce that corporate veil & go after the owner's assets & divvy it up.
