Foam company offers $6.3 million in nightclub fire
July 25, 2008
A company that sold the foam blamed for fueling a Rhode Island nightclub fire that killed 100 people has agreed to pay $6.3 million to settle lawsuits from survivors and victims’ relatives, according to court papers filed Thursday.
The agreement by Johnston-based American Foam Corp. brings total settlements offered in the case to roughly $153 million.
The newest tentative settlement also covers the estate of Aram DerManouelian, the company’s former president who has since died, and Barry Warner, a company salesman who lived near the club and suggested that club owners Jeffrey and Michael Derderian buy soundproofing foam to quell noise complaints from neighbors.
A phone message seeking comment from American Foam’s lawyer was not returned.
The Feb. 20, 2003, fire at The Station nightclub began when pyrotechnics for 1980s rock band Great White ignited the foam, which was used as soundproofing around the stage. The families alleged the company did not warn the nightclub owners that the foam was flammable.
