🤔 250,000 veterans agree to $6B settlement with earplug company
👂A $6 billion settlement involving roughly 250,000 veterans will move forward in a lawsuit that argued faulty earplugs were sold to the military for use during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. For the settlement, 98% of service members and veterans with claims had to agree to it. 3M, the Minnesota-based company that made the earplugs, announced Tuesday that 99% of claimants are on board.

Lemme guess the lawyers get $5.9Billion and the victims get giftcards to buy new earplugs. Yay Justice!

In my limited experience, the "settlement" that class members agree to does not include attorney's fees. They are a separate line item in the agreement, and typically involve less argument between sides than the money divvied up to the masses. The included veterans should get around $24,000 each, before any applicable taxes (some settlement monies are taxable, and some are not.)

I used them for years but no service. Shame I can't participate in the settlement
