AirPod Tracking notification

Last night I was flying from one country to another, and as soon as I landed at my destination while I was in a taxi I started to receive on my iPhone a notification saying "The owner of AirPods can see your location ...etc".

I am 100% sure that I had only my own AirPods that are connected to all my Apple devices and I couldn't find in my buckets or between my stuff anything that didn't belong to me. Can somebody tell me what that could be and why did I receive such kind of notification?

iPhone 8, iOS 15

Notifications about the Airpods Max location, normal ? Hello, I recently bought an pre-owned AirPods Max which I paired to my iPhone and Mac. I was able to add it to my set of Apple devices on my iCloud account, I renamed it, everything is fine on my side. But everyday, sometimes several times a day, I received notifications on my phone about the location of the Max, and telling me the owner can see this location. Is this normal? If not, what should I do to not see this? Thanks

My child’s AirPod Pros are “tracking me”. I keep getting notifications from Find My that a pair of AirPods are traveling with me. They belong to my child.
