Defective Combat Earplugs Attorneys in Savannah

Aggressive Representation for Affected Vets

If you served in the military between 2003 and 2015, you may have used defective earplugs designed by 3M, a Minnesota-based government contractor. For many veterans, these earplugs failed to maintain a tight enough seal, allegedly causing loss of balance, tinnitus, and hearing loss. 3M falsely publicized the equipment as allowing users to hear what they needed to hear, completely unimpaired, while protecting them from dangerously loud sounds.

With support from Jamie Casino Injury Attorneys, you can join the hundreds of veterans suing 3M for not just failing to provide adequate instructions but knowingly providing the military with defective equipment. Liability has not been officially determined, but 3M has already agreed to pay $9.1 million to resolve allegations, and you may be able to sue for compensation.

Could This Have Affected You?

The earplugs were 3M trademarked, yellow and olive dual-ended Combat Arms (Version 2: CAEv.2). Testing found them defective in 2000, but 3M falsely stated they complied with military standards. 3M’s claim was that inserting the olive side would protect soldiers from all sound, while inserting the yellow side would protect against explosions and still allow them to hear commands and approaching enemy soldiers.

Since using these earplugs, many veterans have experienced loss of balance and tinnitus. Tinnitus is typically experienced as a ringing in the ears, and many temporarily get this after exposure to loud sounds, such as during a concert. Chronic tinnitus, however, is a sign of more severe or permanent hearing loss. If you are suffering now as a result of using this defective equipment during combat, you have the right to demand compensation. 3M failed to protect you and your fellow soldiers, and we are here to help you hold them accountable.
