Defective 3m Earplugs Lawsuits

Michigan Attorneys Representing Veterans Injured by Defective Earplugs

Members of the military are often exposed to extremely loud noises in training and combat, needing earplugs to protect their hearing. However, for veterans deployed between 2003 and 2012, the “protection” provided to military members via dual-ended earplugs by 3M, a company formerly known as Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, were defective. Many service members suffered injuries such as hearing loss and chronic tinnitus (ringing in the ears) from the earplugs, which were too short to fit properly, loosening during use and minimizing their effectiveness.

In July 2018, the 3M Corporation paid a $9.1 million settlement after evidence was uncovered by the federal government proving that the company was aware their earplugs were defective and covered up the fact. If you were affected by these defective earplugs, you may be eligible for financial compensation for your injuries and other damages suffered as a result.
