Apple’s AirTag Settlements Put Centralization Fight at Inflection Point
Apple disclosed that it settled 20 AirTag-stalking claims in the two months before its court brief, changing the immediate leverage around the pending Apple AirTag Stalking Personal Injury/Product Liability/Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation (3199) centralization fight. The company says 15 of 30 federal cases, four of six related California state cases and one pre-suit claim have resolved, while the settlement terms remain confidential. The JPML will hear the centralization bid at its Sept. 24 hearing, where plaintiffs seek to coordinate the remaining claims in Arizona and Apple argues that existing case management is producing resolutions without another consolidated proceeding. The result will determine whether the unresolved cases enter a single discovery and motion track or continue in the courts where they were filed.
Camp Lejeune Offer Dispute Collides With September Expiration Date
Camp Lejeune claimants challenging the government’s exposure-duration calculations face a Sept. 27 offer-expiration deadline, forcing an immediate decision over elective-option settlements. The dispute centers on offers that allegedly treated claimants as having 30 to 364 days of exposure despite service records showing longer stays, a classification that can reduce a Tier 1 offer from $300,000 to $150,000 or a Tier 2 offer from $250,000 to $100,000. The government opposes preserving the disputed offers while the calculation challenge is considered. That deadline now puts the claimed recordkeeping errors at the center of settlement leverage, because a claimant who declines or loses an offer may have to pursue a longer merits path instead.
