Chocolate Factory Sued for Ignoring Worker Complaints Before Deadly Blast

A lawsuit claims R.M. Palmer Co. did nothing after workers reported smelling gas, leading to an explosion that killed seven people.
Workers had notified the company about the gas leak, but Palmer failed to take any action.
Families of victims are suing Palmer and gas utility UGI for the Pennsylvania factory explosion.
The explosion is still under investigation, but officials say a natural gas pipeline likely played a role.
If the companies had addressed the gas leak, the deadly accident could have been avoided, the lawsuit alleges.
