Texas parents sue Apple over AirPods, alleging Amber Alert damaged son’s hearing
pair of Texas parents is suing Apple over their son's hearing loss, which they say was caused by Amber Alerts on the company's AirPods earbuds.
Carlos Gordoa and Ariani Reyes said their son, identified as B.G. in a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Northern California, suffered severe ear damage because the AirPods "failed to automatically reduce or limit notification and/or alert volumes."The lawsuit alleged Apple committed gross negligence fraud. "This is an action for personal injuries after defective AirPods worn by B.G.
in his right ear produced ear shattering sound levels that ripped open B.G.’s right ear drum and damaged his cochlea during an Amber Alert notification, causing B.G.
to suffer from tinnitus, significant and permanent hearing loss, other temporary or permanent injuries, pain, suffering, and disabilities leading to the loss of the pleasures of life," lawsuit states.
