Aearo Technologies, the unit that made the plugs, is filing for bankruptcy as part of the plan. 3M has already lost 10 earplug trials and faces almost 250,000 more.
— and that Aearo Technologies, the 3M unit that made the plugs, is filing for voluntary bankruptcy as part of the plan.
Previously, the company had said the product “was safe and effective to use when properly fitted and that 3M provided instruction to the military on the proper fitting and use.” Joseph Sigmon did two tours of duty as an artillery man in Iraq and Afghanistan and was decorated for his work training Afghan soldiers how to operate artillery.Service members are routinely exposed to noise levels up to 150 decibels in training and combat, according to experts.
3M said Aearo “clearly communicated this issue to the military.” But plaintiffs point to a 2019 deposition produced in the litigation, in which a 3M division scientist who worked with the military on the earplugs said he had no “paper documentation” showing that the military was advised of the earplugs’ loosening problem.
