Residents in Monterey County are worried about health risks following a fire at the Moss Landing Battery Plant, despite claims of no danger from county tests. A lawsuit has been filed against several companies, alleging negligence, outdated safety protocols, and the use of less stable battery technology. The lawsuit, not a class action but a mass tort, aims to address these concerns after Erin Brockovich led a town hall to inform residents about filing individual claims. Many attendees voiced health complaints, particularly respiratory issues, raising ongoing safety concerns.
The Moss Landing Battery Energy Storage System Facility used lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide batteries that are more prone to thermal instability than newer alternatives like lithium-ion phosphate batteries.
Singleton Schreiber and Erin Brockovich held a town hall meeting Tuesday, to answer questions about the lawsuit and how others can file for damages.
