Quemetco Contamination Lawsuit

The Quemetco battery recycling facility, positioned dangerously close to homes and schools, has stirred widespread concern. Affected areas can include: City of Industry, Hacienda Heights, Avocado Heights, La Puente, San Gabriel Valley, and more.

Recent legal actions highlight the severity of the situation. A nearby lead smelter has settled a lawsuit after facing scrutiny from state environmental agencies and California Attorney General Rob Bonta for nearly 30 different violations, including hazardous waste mishandling and excessive toxic air emissions. Moreover, Quemetco, Inc. agreed to address enforcement actions brought by the state Department of Toxic and Substances Control (DTSC) in 2018, resulting in a $2.3 million settlement approved by the Los Angeles Superior Court.

If you or someone you know lives near the Quemetco battery recycling facility, we urge you to join this mass tort lawsuit, not only to seek compensation for those affected but also to ensure accountability and prevent future incidents.
