: Legal Pad | LABluetooth suits either dismissed or settled with no economic recovery
By Richard Binder
The multidistrict cases alleging that Motorola Inc. and Apple Inc. did not adequately warn consumers about potential hearing loss caused by their Bluetooth headsets have dissipated into a whimper. Regarding Motorola's Bluetooth headsets, a federal judge in Los Angeles approved a preliminary settlement on Feb. 9 that provides no economic recoveries for putative class members.
Instead, Motorola and two other defendants, Plantronics Inc. and GN Netcom Inc., which makes Jabra Bluetooth headsets, have agreed to pay a total of $100,000 to four institutions related to hearing loss and post warnings of acoustic information on their Web sites and in product manuals and packaging.
The settlement comes eight months after a federal judge in San Jose, Calif., dismissed similar claims against Apple over Bluetooth headsets for iPods.
