The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall on various Philips CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilators after reports of respiratory problems and lung cancer, among other injuries. While the CPAP recall will prevent future injuries, it is too late for the many Americans already injured by these machines. No one should be put in harm’s way by a medical device they were told could improve their health and help them manage their symptoms.

Potential Health Risks and Injuries

After receiving numerous complaints of injury, the FDA investigated Philips Respironics CPAP, BiPAP and Ventilators machines for potential health hazards. It found that the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam in these machines, which reduces sound and vibration, is likely  to deteriorate and enter the machine’s air pathway. This puts the user at risk of accidentally swallowing the foam’s black debris and/or inhaling carcinogenic chemicals. So, what are the Philips CPAP recall symptoms and health risks? Our defective products attorneys have gathered the following list.

The potential health risks associated with recalled Philips sleep apnea machines include but are not limited to:
