One of the women says her estranged husband put an AirTag in their child's backpack in order to follow her. They say the tiny tracking devices, intended to help people find lost keys or purses, are the 'weapon of choice of stalkers and abusers'.
said it had made the devices"stalkerproof" - but a proposed class action lawsuit filed in San Francisco alleges this is not the case.
Starting at £24, AirTags are small discs - about 3cm in diameter - that are intended to be attached to keys, wallets, backpacks and other items so people can find them when they are lost.The two women are suing for themselves and on behalf of others who claim they have been stalked because of AirTags.
Lauren Hughes moved house to avoid a former boyfriend, and alleges he discovered her new location after he placed an AirTag in her car's wheel well. She said he later posted a photo online of a taco truck from her new neighbourhood, and included a winking emoji with the hashtag"#airt2.0".
