Apple is facing a lawsuit from two women who claim that the company's AirTag tracking device has been used by their ex-partners to stalk them.

The women, one from Texas and the other from New York, have filed a proposed class action lawsuit in a federal court in San Francisco, seeking unspecified monetary damages. In the lawsuit, the women allege that their ex-partners used the $29 AirTags to track their whereabouts, leading them to claim that the product is a "dangerous" tool for stalkers and abusers.

In the lawsuit, the women allege that their exes placed the devices in their cars and on their children's backpacks. The lawsuit challenges Apple's claim that AirTags are "stalker-proof" and says that the product "revolutionized the scope, breadth, and ease of location-based stalking."

This is not the first time AirTags have been used for unwanted tracking, as a woman in Indiana reportedly used one to track and murder her boyfriend earlier this year.

“We condemn in the strongest possible terms any malicious use of our products,” Apple said.

The new lawsuit states, "While Apple has built safeguards into the AirTag product, they are woefully inadequate, and do little, if anything, to promptly warn individuals if they are being tracked."

AirTags are primairly used to track certain items such as luggage through the use of bluetooth and the "Find My" application.
