One family says their child was left with hearing damage after the boy's Apple AirPods blasted a super- loud amber alert in his ears.
A family has filed a lawsuit against Apple, saying the company didn't give them enough warning about the risk. The suit says that the kid was watching a video on his phone.
The family says that the amber alert caused him to have an ear injury. They say that the boy has had hearing loss, dizziness, nausea, vertigo, and tinnitus since then and needs hearing aids. The suit demands damages for the boy and his parents because of the emotional stress it has caused, and they hope that will encourage tech companies to be more cautious in the future.
It's easy to ignore lawsuits against big corporations for seemingly small reasons, or for injuries that could have been prevented.
The woman who sued McDonald's for spilling hot coffee in her lap was treated fairly. She suffered third- degree burns on her legs and nearly died, yet many people called her greedy. Mcdonald's should keep its coffee hot enough to make drive-throughs safer for future customers, according to her argument.
It is important to hold giant global corporations accountable and force them to make their products safer for everyone.
It's not clear if the amber alert on the AirPods is loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage. It will be interesting to see how the case plays out.
