What is the 3M Earplug Lawsuit?
The 3M Earplug Lawsuit is a class action lawsuit filed against 3M Company and its subsidiary, Aearo Technologies Inc. The lawsuit alleges that the companies knowingly sold defective earplugs to the U.S. military without disclosing the defects, which caused soldiers to suffer hearing loss and tinnitus.
The lawsuit was originally filed in 2016 by two former members of the military, but it was later amended to include more than 100,000 plaintiffs. In 2018, a federal judge ruled that the case could move forward as a class action.
The plaintiffs are seeking damages for their injuries, as well as punitive damages. 3M has denied any wrongdoing and is fighting the lawsuit.
A trial date has not been set yet, but it is expected to start sometime in 2020.

The 3M earplug lawsuit is currently in the process of being settled, and individuals who have been affected by the defective earplugs may be able to receive compensation for their injuries.
To be eligible for the settlement, individuals must have used the 3M Combat Arms earplugs between 2003 and 2015. They must also have suffered from hearing loss, tinnitus, or other injuries as a result of using the earplugs.

How Much Money is Available for the Settlement?
As of September 2019, the total amount of money available for the settlement is $13,000,000. This means that there is still a possibility that you may be able to receive compensation if you were affected by 3M’s defective earplugs. If you have not yet filed a claim, it is important to do so as soon as possible, as the deadline to file is quickly approaching.
If you have already filed a claim and are waiting for a decision, it is important to note that the amount of money available for the settlement may decrease if more people file claims before the deadline. Therefore, if you are waiting for a decision on your claim, it is important to check back often to see if the amount of money available for the settlement has changed.
