- Fire at Hwaseong plant on Monday killed 22, left eight injured
- Producers concerned blaze souring sentiment against industry
A deadly factory blaze has revived concerns over battery safety in South Korea, a key global supplier of lithium-ion cells used in everything from electric vehicles to energy storage systems.
The fire and a series of explosions at a lithium battery plant south of Seoul killed 22 workers and left eight injured on Monday, according to the government. While the plant produced primary lithium cells, which are made for single use and disposal, the blaze risks souring sentiment in the country toward the entire industry, which has been plagued by a series of fires over the years.
