Foam Companies Agree To $30 Million Settlement In Great White Club Fire By Newsferatu, Writer Tuesday, May 13, 2008 @ 10:15 PM
Several foam manufacturers have agreed to pay $30 million to settle lawsuits brought by survivors and family members of those who died in a 2003 fire that killed 100 people and hurt more than 200. The settlement offers were disclosed in court papers filed Monday. More than $101 million has now been offered to victims of the Feb. 20, 2003, fire at the Station nightclub in West Warwick from several companies, including Home Depot and a maker of fireworks. Plaintiffs have yet to approve the settlements. Investigators blame flammable, egg-crate-style foam on the walls and ceiling of the club for fueling the fire. The fire was started when a pyrotechnics display for the rock band Great White ignited foam placed around the stage for soundproofing.
