3M Earplugs Presentations Scheduled On Science Day In August

Introduction

According to an order issued by Judge Rodgers on June 4, a “Science Day” is being rescheduled for Monday, August 26, where the non-adversarial presentation would be designed to educate the court about the issues that will arise in the 3M Earplugs litigation over hearing loss.

The parties are ordered to confer and meet about proposed parameters for the presentations and to include the scope of topics, timing, level of details involved and submit a joint agenda by August 5. The presentations will focus on science between hearing loss and earplug designs. These scientific presentations are scheduled to educate the court about issues and concepts that can come up during the proceedings. These presentations play no part in the official litigation and are not subject to cross-examination.

More than 640 injury lawsuits related to the defective earplugs are centralized as part of a multidistrict litigation (MDL No. 2885; In Re: 3M Combat Arms Earplug Litigation) presided by Judge M. Casey Rodgers in the Northern District of Florida against Minnesota-based 3M.
