Judge Vince Chhabria rules that Apple must face a class-action lawsuit alleging AirTag devices aid stalkers, with plaintiffs' claims of negligence and product liability proceeding.
US District Judge Vince Chhabria has ruled that Apple must face a class-action lawsuit alleging that its AirTag devices help stalkers track their victims. Three plaintiffs in the suit, who claimed negligence and product liability, had their claims proceed, while others were dismissed. The lawsuit argues that Apple was warned of the risks posed by AirTags and could be legally blamed under California law when the tracking devices are used for misconduct. Apple had argued it designed the AirTag with "industry-first" safety measures and shouldn't be held responsible when the product is misused.
