The lawsuit was filed against Apple in California in 2020year, but it became known only now. In the documentation, the victim is listed as BG: he was watching a movie on Netflix on his iPhone, which was connected to AirPods Pro. The volume was set low, but at some point, the Amber Alert system, which is designed to attract the attention of iPhone owners, was triggered by causing the devices to play a loud sound and vibrate.
As a result of a sharp loud sound in a boyeardrums are damaged. After the incident, the victim suffers from hearing loss, dizziness, nausea, tinnitus and is forced to wear a hearing aid.
The lawsuit alleges that Apple is aware of"defective" AirPods that do not mute the sound of Amber Alerts. What's more, Apple also didn't include a warning about a potential issue that users might encounter.
Lawsuit seeks damages from Apple for boyand his parents, who are under tremendous emotional stress due to the current situation. The lawsuit seeks "punitive damages in an amount that will punish Defendants for their conduct and deter other technology companies from engaging in such misconduct in the future."
