Mississippi attorneys helping those injured by Philips CPAP/BiPAP ventilators

Philips is recalling certain devices due to potentially severe health risks to consumers. This recall involves various Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (Bi-Level PAP), Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), and mechanical ventilator devices. The sound abatement foam used to reduce sound and vibration in affected devices, PE-PUR or polyester-based polyurethane, may break down, causing dangerous particles to be inhaled or swallowed by the user. Additionally, the foam may off-gas certain chemicals by releasing volatile organic compounds and harmful chemicals in a vapor form. Users have reported black debris/particles in the airpath circuit of the machines and the company has received complaints of sinus infections, chest pressure, upper airway irritation, and headaches.

The health risks associated with particulate exposure include:

  • Possible carcinogenic effects, such as cancer
  • Possible toxic effects
  • Respiratory issues
  • Adverse effects to liver, kidneys, and other organs
  • Inflammation
  • Irritation of eyes, skin, and respiratory tract
  • Headaches

As of July 22, 2021, the Food and Drug Administration issued an official Class 1 recall of numerous Philips machines. Per the FDA, a Class 1 recall is “the most serious type of recall. Use of these devices may cause serious injuries or death.” The administration is urging users to stop using their devices and speak with their health care providers. The Philips CPAP lawsuit claims the use of certain Philips machines can cause lung injury and even cancer.
