Veterans allege that 3M and Aearo Technologies, a company 3M acquired in 2008, produced faulty earplugs that failed to protect their hearing from noise damage when issued to them by the U.S. military.

I bet 3M wishes they didn't acquire Aearo Technologies

Lol it's funny, they cornered the market on earplugs but then they turned out to be shit. 3M is responsible for so much damage to humans and the environment its not even funny. Get rekt.

Is this the same thing that I kept hearing ads on radio about?

If you can hear the radio ads, then you weren't using their product.

It's funny. This lawsuit is what got me to finally get rated. I have serviced connected tinnitus, rated 0%.
