The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has filed a lawsuit against Beko Europe, the manufacturer of the fridge-freezer implicated in the Grenfell Tower fire, for allegedly failing to conduct adequate safety tests. The lawsuit is part of broader legal proceedings seeking over £358 million from various companies involved in the tragedy that claimed over 70 lives. The accusations detail that materials used in the appliance could easily catch fire, and had the appropriate tests been performed, they would have failed fire safety standards.
The lawsuit alleges that Beko Europe, the maker of the fridge-freezer implicated in the Grenfell Tower fire, failed to conduct adequate safety tests on this appliance.
The local council claims that the materials used, particularly the plastic backing and foam, did not meet fire safety standards and were prone to ignition.
