War veteran in legal battle over 'faulty' earplugs

DISCUS CHAMP GOING DEAF AFTER ARMY SERVICE
A MIDLAND veteran who lost his right arm and both legs in Afghanistan has claimed he’s going deaf after allegedly being supplied with ‘defective earplugs’
Invictus Games discus and shot put champion Dave Watson, 38, is speaking out after a legal bid was launched against American PPE giant 3M.
The lawsuit seeks compensation from the firm for allegedly supplying hearing-impaired British troops with ‘faulty combat earplugs’
"It’s bad enough losing three limbs but now I am having to wear hearing aids because I’m going deaf," claimed Mr Watson, from Romsley, Worcestershire.
KP Law, a specialist group action law firm, issued a letter to 3M outlining the details of the claim on behalf of the thousands of clients it says it's representing.
3M told the Birmingham Mail it has “great respect” for the British Armed Forces but that it is prepared to defend itself in court.
