legally yes, morally no

eg my mob could lend stupid amounts of money to people we know will struggle to repay in the knowledge that we'll cream off enough default fees/high interest to outway the defaulters.

But we don't because it's bloody unethical. So we are more picky about who we lend to.

Same ought to apply to this type of thing - you can sell your product to whoever will buy it, but one might expect a company with a shred of decency might consider that some customers ought to be put in the 'patently too stupid to deal with' bracket. And buying panels that aren't suitable above 30 metres for a 24 storey tower might fall into that category?

As Proth says, this is a decision that all of those in the supply chain (who knew the purpose the cladding would be put to) will just have to bear on their consciences.

Whether "well we told them, didn't we...?" or "well it complied with building regs didn't it...?" is enough to enable them to sleep at night is between them and their own minds.

Legally I doubt any of them did anything wrong unless they were daft enough to warrant fitness for purpose.
