According to Reuters, in June 2021 Philips recalled between 3-4 million Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines that Americans with sleep apnea were depending on. Specifically, the recall was for Philips Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (Bi-Level PAP), Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), and mechanical ventilator devices.
Philips inserts a polyester-based polyurethane foam into its machines to soften the noise they create. The foam degrades over time, releasing small particles that are extremely dangerous when inhaled by users. Chemical exposure and off-gassing from this foam has been shown to create even worse problems for patients using Philips CPAP machines and ventilators to treat sleep apnea.

The damage has been done. You are not at fault, and you are not alone! Sleeping through the night shouldn’t be a luxury, and it shouldn’t give you cancer. Contact our team to find out what legal options are available to you and your family.
Using a CPAP for sleep apnea shouldn’t force you to trade one set of health problems for another – especially organ failure and cancer. While a lawsuit can’t change your diagnosis, it could help you pay for expensive medical bills, medications/treatments, or assist financially for time missed at work due to illness. But most importantly, a lawsuit will send a message to the manufacturers of faulty CPAP machines that this is unacceptable.

Philips estimates that 3 to 4 million devices may be affected, the majority of which are first-generation DreamStation products sold before April 2021.
