Motorola sued over Bluetooth sets

CHICAGO, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- A California man who says the cell phone maker knew its wireless Bluetooth headsets could damage users' hearing is suing Motorola Inc.

Martin Alpert, who filed his suit in U.S. District Court in Chicago, says that despite Motorola's knowledge that their Bluetooth headsets could cause "serious hearing loss," the company failed to warn customers, Crain's Chicago Business reported Thursday.

The Illinois cell phone maker had "actual and constructive knowledge" that its headsets "posed a serious risk of harm to consumers from noise-induced hearing loss during the headsets' normal and intended use," the suit alleges.

Alpert's lawyers are seeking class-action status for his suit.
