3M had an exclusive contract to supply the U.S. military with its earplugs from 2003 to 2012. Military bases across the country received 3M earplugs, and by 2004, all deployed soldiers were provided with 3M earplugs. However, the defective 3M Combat Arms V2 Earplugs may cause hearing loss and tinnitus. Hearing loss is the total or partial loss of hearing. In the case of 3M earplugs, users could not insert the earplugs deeply enough into the ear canal, which left them vulnerable to loud noises. Unfortunately, while hearing aids or surgery can help, hearing loss is incurable.
If your baby experienced health complications after consuming infant formula affected by the recall due to bacterial infections, you may be eligible to seek compensation. Reports of bacterial infections in infants who consumed specific infant powder formulas, such as Similac, Alimentum, and EleCare, have prompted recalls and investigations by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One segment, Abbott Nutrition, aims to provide nutritional products for every stage of life. Abbott Nutrition manufactures popular nutrition shakes and powders like Pediasure, Ensure, and Pedialyte.

Originally, four consumer complaints related to bacterial contamination of Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella Newport spurred this recall. In a statement issued by the company, Abbott did find evidence of Cronobacter sakazakii in the Michigan facility. The FDA stated that all five reports (four Cronobacter and one Salmonella Newport) resulted in hospitalizations, and Cronobacter infections may have contributed to two deaths.
These lawsuits include claims of bacterial infections, specifically Cronobacter infections. Cronobacter sakazakii is a germ found naturally in the environment. These germs thrive in dry foods such as powdered infant formula, powdered milk, herbal teas, and starches. Cronobacter bacteria infections prove particularly harmful and even life-threatening for infants. Therefore, tainted infant formulas can lead to:
