U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers ruled that 3M cannot use the government contractor defense as grounds to dismiss the thousands of lawsuits brought by former U.S. service members against the corporation.
“3M’s own internal emails and testimony show how the company was aware its earplugs were defective, failed to inform the military, and then joked about how they profited from this deception,” said co-lead counsel and Seeger Weiss LLP founding partner Christopher A. Seeger in a statement with Bryan Aylstock of Aylstock, Witkin, Kreis & Overholtz PLLC and Shelley Hutson of Clark, Love & Hutson PG. “We look forward to trial so that veterans can finally hold 3M accountable for the permanent, life-altering hearing damage they suffered due to the company’s negligence and callous disregard for our troops’ safety.”
