Apple sued over Magic Mouse 2 design

The latest Apple lawsuit claims that its $79 Magic Mouse 2 causes discomfort and injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome

The proposed class-action lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court in San Jose, accusing Apple of designing its Magic Mouse 2 with sharp edges that dig into users' hands.

The lawsuit further claims that Apple knew about the design defect as early as 2015, when the first Magic Mouse 2 models were released.

The complaint alleges that Apple has still not taken adequate steps to address the issue, including offering refunds or free replacements to affected customers.

The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are seeking damages for the pain, discomfort and injuries they claim to have suffered as a result of using the Magic Mouse 2.

They are also asking the court to order Apple to recall the Magic Mouse 2 and issue a public apology for the product's design defect.

Apple has not yet commented on the lawsuit.

The Magic Mouse 2 is Apple's mid-range computer mouse, designed to work with Mac computers. It is made of aluminum and features a sleek, minimalist design.

The mouse has received generally positive reviews from critics, but some users have complained about its sharp edges, which can cause discomfort after prolonged use.

In 2018, Apple settled a similar lawsuit over the design of its MacBook keyboards. The company agreed to pay $50 million to affected customers and extend the warranty on the keyboards to four years.
