How manufacturers sold combustible cladding
When Marcio Gomes found out that Grenfell Tower, where he lived, was going to be covered in cladding, he assumed it must be safe. Today we know this material was the main cause of the spread of the fire at Grenfell Tower.
The cladding installed on the tower was made by French company, Arconic - it was highly combustible.

And how was that allowed?
