WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Labor Department said on Monday that SK Battery America faces $77,200 in fines for five serious safety violations after workers in Georgia suffered potentially permanent respiratory damage in an October 2023 lithium battery fire.
In January, the department said SK Battery, a supplier for Volkswagen and Ford Motor, exposed employees at a U.S. battery plant to unsafe levels of nickel and other metals, and faces $75,000 in fines over six serious violations.
