Over 2,000 UK military personnel sue 3M over defective earplugs linked to hearing damage.
Over 2,000 British military personnel, including veteran Dave Watson, are suing 3M over allegedly defective combat earplugs used between 2003 and 2015, claiming the devices failed to protect against hearing loss, tinnitus, and deafness.
The earplugs, designed to be reversible, are said to have been too short and prone to loosening, reducing effectiveness.
The UK legal action follows a $6 billion U.S. settlement in 2023, where 3M resolved claims from over 240,000 American veterans without admitting fault.
The Ministry of Defence has paid out over 6,700 claims since 2019.
