Were you stalked, harmed, or harassed by someone using an Apple AirTag® placed on your car, belongings, or in your home without your knowledge? You may have a claim against Apple for the product defects that made covert tracking possible.
Apple launched AirTag® tracking devices in April 2021 and marketed them as a convenient way to find lost keys and luggage. But from the beginning, product design choices made the AirTag® uniquely effective as tools for covert surveillance. AirTag® devices are small enough to hide in a jacket pocket, wheel well, or bag. When placed without the victim's knowledge, Android users received no notification at all, iPhone users received delayed alerts that could take days to appear, and the device's speaker — the only audio warning — was deliberately muffled, making it unlikely to be heard in everyday environments.
Law enforcement agencies and domestic violence organizations reported an immediate and dramatic surge in AirTag®-enabled stalking cases following the product's release. Victims — predominantly women being tracked by intimate partners or ex-partners — discovered an AirTag® hidden in their cars, backpacks, and personal belongings. Apple has made incremental updates to the alert system, but plaintiffs allege those changes were inadequate and that Apple knew or should have known about the stalking risk before launch.
If an AirTag® was used to track you without your consent, you may have a product liability claim against Apple for designing a device that made covert stalking easier than ever before.
Every detail you share through this case review — your experience being tracked, the circumstances under which you discovered the AirTag®, any safety measures you took, and how the situation affected you — stays between you and our intake team.
Every case is unique, and damages will vary based on your experience. Below are common categories of compensation that may be available.
Emergency medical care, treatment for injuries caused by a stalker who located you through an AirTag®, including costs of any assault, accident, or physical harm resulting from unwanted tracking.
Therapy, trauma-focused counseling, psychiatric care, and ongoing treatment for anxiety, PTSD, hypervigilance, and other psychological injuries caused by the experience of being stalked or surveilled without your knowledge.
Wages lost to time away from work, job loss or disruption caused by a stalking situation enabled by an AirTag®, and the economic cost of protective measures such as relocating, changing vehicles, or hiring private security.
Expenses incurred to protect yourself after discovering you were being tracked — hotel stays, moving costs, new locks and security equipment, restraining order proceedings, and other out-of-pocket costs.
Compensation for emotional distress, fear, loss of sense of safety, disruption to your daily life, and the lasting psychological impact of learning that your location and movements were secretly monitored.
For families who lost a loved one to a stalking-related homicide or suicide in which an AirTag® was a factor: funeral and burial expenses, loss of future financial support, and loss of society and companionship.
Apple and others in the supply chain may be held liable under product liability theories including defective design, failure to warn, and negligence for knowingly releasing a product with foreseeable stalking applications and inadequate safety mitigations. Where Apple's conduct is found to be especially egregious or reckless, punitive damages may also be available.
