In this case, it is not an explosion that sometimes occurs even with such tools. Headphones triggered the Amber Alert alert too loud.

What is known about the event

It all happened in 2020, but as often happens, such events became widely known much later.

• According to sources, a 12-year-old boy identified as BG in the case watched the movie on Netflix using an iPhone and AirPods Pro.
• At one point, the Amber Alert alert rang.
• Headphones worked at low volume while watching the video, but Amber Alert’s voice was so loud it ruptured her eardrums.
• After the incident, the boy suffered from hearing loss, nausea, dizziness, and tinnitus.
• Now he has to wear a hearing aid because his hearing cannot be restored.

The victim’s family sued the company. The lawsuit claims that Apple is aware of “defective” AirPods that do not drown out the sound of Amber Alerts. In addition, Apple did not warn about a possible problem that users may encounter.

BG suffered significant temporary and permanent injuries, pain and suffering, disability and disability […] will continue in the past and in the future. BG has lost the ability to live a normal life and will continue to live a limited life in the future, including a limited ability to earn. Additionally, BG has both past and future medical accounts of providing medical care in connection with injuries caused by faulty AirPods,
– The allegation is spoken.

The lawsuit against Apple seeks not only compensation for physical and emotional pain, but also a fine that “will punish those responsible for their behavior and deter other tech companies from engaging in such misconduct in the future.”
