Knut Johnson, Senior Counsel with Singleton Schreiber, was recently featured in a KION TV article titled "Vistra, PG&E, Other Agencies Named in Civil Lawsuit Filed After Battery Plant Fire." The article discusses the lawsuit filed by Singleton Schreiber on behalf of multiple plaintiffs against Vistra, PG&E, and other entities following the Moss Landing battery storage facility fire in January. The suit alleges negligence, civil battery, and liability, citing health issues, property damage, and economic losses suffered by the affected residents.
Johnson emphasized the design flaws and fire risks associated with the facility, stating: “If you've got lithium batteries in thermal runaway, what they do is they heat up, they create intense heat, and then they'll ignite other lithium batteries around them. So by designing it the way they did, they created like a giant lithium-ion battery bomb.”
Singleton Schreiber hosted a Moss Landing Town Hall on February 11 at 5 p.m., addressing community concerns and providing updates on the litigation.
