3M CAEv2 Combat Earplugs were standard issue to millions of military personnel between 2003 and 2015 for use during domestic training and foreign conflicts. 3M allegedly knew these dual-sided earplugs had a design defect but sold them to the United States government without providing that information.
3M’s failure to inform the United States government of this defect caused significant hearing damage to many of our service men and women in the Armed Forces, including permanent hearing loss. In other words, did 3M knowingly sell a defective product to our military – one that could cause serious injury to our military service members – in order to make a profit?
In July 2018, 3M paid 9.1 million dollars to settle a lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice alleging that 3M knowingly sold these defective earplugs to our military.
