About this case
Residents of Owino Uhuru alleged that toxic waste from Kenya Metal Refineries' lead-acid battery recycling plant contaminated soil and water, causing lead exposure, illness, and deaths. In 2025, Kenya's Supreme Court awarded approximately $12 million in damages to about 3,000 residents, although compensation had reportedly not yet been fully implemented.
