    for anyone still hanging out here...

    Subject: remember that Greenfell Tower fire in London ???

    Grenfell Tower's exterior walls were covered in *FOAM INSULATION*
    which was "clad", term used loosely, in thin aluminium sheets.

    Those of us with experience in emergency response have a term
    for foam insulation of this type, namely "solid gasoline".

    Eyup, it caught fire, running up the outside of the building,
    and roasting the people inside.

    So now... the LAWYERS:

    "The proposed Settlement would resolve a putative class action lawsuit alleging that, in violation of the U.S. federal securities laws,
    Defendants misrepresented the safety and compliance of its Reynobond PE products, which were installed in the Grenfell Tower in London,
    which caught fire and burned in 2017, killing over 70 people and injuring at least 70 more. Defendants deny the allegations and any liability
    or wrongdoing of any kind. ..."
