Trial Date Set in 3M Earplug Mass Tort Case

In March 2021, a federal jury in Florida will hear opening arguments in a case involving allegedly defective earplugs supplied to members of the United States Armed Forces.
The earplug manufacturer, 3M Corporation, has already settled False Claims Act allegations regarding its earplugs for over $9 million.
However, legal experts have pointed out that this settlement was for defrauding the Federal Government, and not for injured and impacted servicemembers.
