3M Earplug Cases
You may be entitled to compensation if you served in the US military between 2003 and 2015 and were provided with 3M Combat Arms Earplugs. We have received claims from veterans and active-duty personnel of hearing injuries sustained due to these earplugs being defective.
About the 3M LawsuitThe multinational conglomerate 3M designed the 3M Combat Arms Earplugs (Version 2 - CAEv2) and provided them to the US military while failing to inform the government that some were defective and did not block out noise that could cause serious damage in the wearer. Those veterans and active-duty personnel who suffered as a result of 3M’s lack of transparency deserve financial compensation.
How Do the Plugs Cause Harm?Allegedly, the faulty earplugs are designed in a way that when they are used in the correct way, as instructed, they allow sound to enter the ear and do not block the damage that they are meant to prevent. As a result, hearing loss or a persistent ringing sensation in the ears can develop.
How Can I File a 3M Earplugs Lawsuit?Potential plaintiffs in the lawsuit must be diagnosed with tinnitus and/or hearing loss by a doctor at or around the time of discharge between 2003 and 2015. The diagnosis must have resulted in an impairment rating with the US Department of Veteran Affairs. Those eligible may be entitled to compensation for their injuries.
