Philips CPAP & Sleep Apnea Machine Litigation

Philips Respironics produces a product intended to help millions of Americans’ who suffer from sleep apnea. However, this product has been shown to be potentially extremely dangerous. If you have used the Philips sleep apnea machine, and have later been diagnosed with serious health issues, you may have a valid claim for compensation against Phillips.

The problem with these machines is that unsuspecting users of these products were breathing in foam. This foam is toxic and causes potentially numerous health problems, including cancer, as well as respiratory problems and issues. Due to this dangerous foam, Philips recalled millions of CPAP and other sleep apnea machines.

Litigation began in June, 2021 against Philips by way of a class action lawsuit filed in Massachusetts. The lawsuit claims that Philips knew about the toxic foam and the severe health problems it was causing people for years. The lawsuits are claims for compensation due to the harm caused by the toxic foam. It turns out that Philips knew users had complained about the problem before, but it was not until April, 2021 that a public warning about the product was put out. The actual recall did not happen until June 14, 2021.

The lawsuit alleges not only that the product is dangerous and can cause serious health conditions, including cancer, but also that Philips failed to warn that the public of the potential danger of the product.
