Apple sued by iPod user over hearing loss
Do iPods lead to hearing loss? That's what a Louisiana man says, and he's suing Apple Computer over it. John Patterson filed the suit yesterday in federal court in San Jose. He's accusing Apple of marketing defective products that damage the hearing of those who use the devices -- namely, iPods.
Patterson's complaint seeks an order requiring Apple to upgrade the product and to compensate victims for their loss of hearing.
Patterson is seeking class action status for his suit.
