Companies Say They Owe No Duty To Workers In Lithium Battery Injury Lawsuit

OKLAHOMA CITY - A hydraulic fracturing company and a drilling company sued in connection with injuries suffered by two workers when a lithium battery exploded during a fracking operation filed a brief on June 5 in which they argue that the case against them should be dismissed because they owe no duty to the plaintiffs for the failure of the fracking tool that allegedly caused their injuries (Jacob McGehee, et al. v. Southwest Electronic Energy Corporation, et al. and Southwest Electronic Energy Corporation v. Engineered Power LP, et al., No. 15-145, W.D. Okla.).
