Women sue Apple claiming AirTags helped their stalkers
Of the two plaintiffs in the case, one is named: Lauren Hughes, of Travis County, Texas. The other, listed as Jane Doe, is said to reside in Kings County, New York.
The complaint describes how Hughes was stalked by a former boyfriend, who last year allegedly placed an AirTag, sealed in a plastic bag, in the wheel well of her car's left rear tire. After moving, Hughes allegedly was taunted on social media with a picture of a food truck in her new neighborhood that included a hashtag suggesting another AirTag had been used to find her.
As of April 2022, at least 150 police reports have been filed claiming stalking involving an AirTag, the complaint says, arguing that the actual number of such incidents is likely much higher. The lawsuit seeks recognition as a class action representing everyone in the US tracked without consent by an AirTag. It alleges violations of the Children's Internet Protection Act and California’s Constitutional Right to Privacy, and business laws in California and New York. It also accused Apple of acts of negligence, negligence per se, intrusion-upon-seclusion, and product liability.
