A False Claims Act lawsuit against 3M was settled for $9.1 million in July 2018.
United States v. 3M Company: Filed on May 12, 2016. Synopsis: Defendant 3M Company sold defective dual-ended Combat Arms (trademarked) earplugs, which 3M sold to the US Military for more than a decade without its knowledge of the defect. Fraud perpetrated on the military by 3M have likely caused thousands of soldiers to suffer significant hearing loss and tinnitus in addition to exposing millions to the risk caused by 3M's defective earplugs.

When I learned that I might have a claim against 3M, I realized I needed an attorney. Mr. Watt is a competent lawyer who cares about his clients and I feel confident that his team can help me with my claim.”
