3M's dual-ended Combat Arms™ version 2 earplugs were sold to the US military during domestic training and foreign conflicts between approximately 2003-2015. 3M sold the dual-ended earplugs to the US military without disclosing defects that hampered the effectiveness of the hearing protection device. Specifically, 3M and its predecessor manufacturer Aearo Technologies, Inc., knew that due to certain defects in the design of the plugs, proper insertion required the wearer to fold back the flanges of the opposite side from insertion, but did not adequately instruct users of this requirement. The stem of the dual-ended earplug is too short, proving difficult to insert the plug deeply into users’ ear canals to achieve a proper fit. Because of these known defects, thousands of men and women who have fought for our country now suffer drastic hearing loss and tinnitus.
Furthermore, in the summer of 2018, 3M agreed to pay a $9.1 million settlement to resolve allegations of these defects in a Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit against 3M, and the predecessor Aearo Technologies Inc.
