I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. I wish that I had a dollar for everytime I've heard of catastrophy resulting from EM use. Truth is, it's a broad spectrum which kills bacteria indescriminately. It can and does wipe out most (if not all) of the beneficial bacteria in your tank. Within 24 hours or less your entire biological system is gone. Then ammonia spikes and kills everything.
Should the LFS employee know this? Yes. Do they? Maybe. Are they responsible? No. Unfortunately, what happens when you put it in your tank is your responsibility. If you had hired them to maintain your tank, paid them for the service and they did it, they would be responsible.
I know it's not what you wanted to hear but it's the truth. Also, you can sue anyone for anything, any time. Winning a judgement is another story. In this case, you wouldn't. Sorry.
