新泽西州因多次发生危险火灾,包括2025年的锂电池大火,对EMR提起诉讼,要求安全改革和问责。 New Jersey sued EMR over repeated hazardous fires, including a 2025 lithium battery blaze, demanding safety reforms and accountability.

自2020年以来,新泽西州起诉了英国的金属回收商EMR,该公司在卡姆登的设施中,至少发生了十几起危险火灾,其中包括2025年2月发生的一场四个警报的大火,由离子电池燃烧了超过12小时,并迫使疏散. New Jersey has sued EMR, a U.K.-based metal recycler with Camden facilities, over at least a dozen hazardous fires since 2020, including a major four-alarm blaze in February 2025 caused by a lithium-ion battery that burned for over 12 hours and forced evacuations. 该州声称,尽管此前已有670万居民点进行了灭火升级改造,但是由于不安全的行动、防火不足以及未能应对已知风险,因此,EMR造成了持续的公共卫生危害。 The state alleges EMR created ongoing public health hazards through unsafe operations, inadequate fire prevention, and failure to address known risks despite a prior $6.7 million settlement for fire suppression upgrades. 2026年1月12日提起的诉讼寻求法院下令的安全改革,包括减少火灾风险计划、加强监测和监管监督,而居民和倡导者则要求加强问责制和长期保护。 The lawsuit, filed January 12, 2026, seeks court-ordered safety reforms, including fire risk reduction plans, enhanced monitoring, and regulatory oversight, while residents and advocates demand stronger accountability and long-term protections.
