If you’ve used a Philips sleep apnea machine and experienced injuries or illnesses as a result, you may be eligible to receive financial compensation through a Philips CPAP lawsuit.

Breaking News: Philips CPAP Recall Linked to Health Risks

On June 14, 2021, Philips Respironics issued a voluntary recall of various CPAP, BiPAP, and mechanical ventilators after the sound-reducing polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam used in the devices was found to:

• Degrade and break down into black particles that can enter the device’s airpath and be swallowed by the user
• Expose the user to dangerous and potentially carcinogenic chemicals that can then be inhaled

The foam degradation can cause serious injuries and may be exacerbated by the use of unapproved cleaning methods (like ozone), as well as by high-heat and high-humidity environments.

Injuries and Health Risks of Philips Sleep Apnea Machines

Philips Respironics has received numerous complaints from customers about black debris or particles in the airpath circuit of their mechanical ventilators, BiPAP, and CPAP devices, though the cause of the symptoms has not been definitively linked at this time.

Potential risks associated with the recalled Philips sleep apnea devices can be life-threatening and include:

• Cancer (particularly in the kidneys, liver, and lungs)
• Cough and chest pressure
• Damage to the kidneys, liver, or lungs
• Headaches or dizziness
• Sinus infections
• Upper airway infection

If you’ve used Philips Respironics sleep devices and experienced any of the health issues listed above, you may be able to pursue compensation through a Philips CPAP lawsuit. Learn more about your legal options today in a free consultation.
