I feel bad about everything surrounding the Station Nightclub fire but suing JBL saying they make speakers that are flammable seems unreasonable. There are countless products that are flammable. Pyrotechnics will cause most of them to catch on fire. JBL settled the lawsuit for $815k.
The lawsuit accused JBL of making speakers that had flammable foam inside, although JBL has said in court papers that nothing in its speakers would have sped the fire any more than any other building material.
ABC Bus Leasing, Inc., and Superstar Services, which leased the buses that brought the band members and the fireworks to the club, said they would pay a combined $500,000.

it is disgusting when victims turn into profiteers.

So JBL is paying out 315 grand more than the idiots who brought the fireworks in in the first place?
That is just insane. Insane that JBL was even sued in the first place. Frivolous and sad.
