Army veteran in legal claim against US earplug maker

A VETERAN who lost his right arm and both legs in Afghanistan claims he is now going deaf after being supplied with ‘defective earplugs’

- 

Dave Watson, 38, an Invictus Games discus and shot put champ, spoke after a legal bid was launched against American protective equipment maker 3M.

‘The lawsuit seeks compensation from the firm for allegedly supplying British troops with faulty earplugs.

“It’s bad enough losing three limbs but now I am having to wear hearing aids because I’m going deaf” said Mr Watson, from Romsley, Worcestershire.

KP Law has issued a letter to 3M outlining the details of the claim on behalf of the thousands of clients it says it’s representing.
