With fire risks remaining a key concern, lithium batteries are now also raising broader liability questions as they become more deeply embedded in everyday products and supply chains.
In this webinar, we examine the emerging risks beyond thermal events, with a focus on performance expectations, toxic exposures, and ESG challenges.
Key topics include:
- Performance Shortfalls: Claims arising from electric vehicles that fail to meet advertised range or environmental standards.
- Toxicity Risks: Legal exposure from harmful chemical exposure to workers or end users across the battery lifecycle.
- ESG Liabilities: Scrutiny of supply chains tied to lithium and cobalt mining, and the social and environmental costs of battery production.
Our speakers are joined by battery experts from Exponent, James Frake and Sam Lawton.
