New Jersey sued EMR over repeated hazardous fires, including a 2025 lithium battery blaze, demanding safety reforms and accountability.
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.
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.
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.
