Jackson Mississippi Philips CPAP BiPAP Lawyer
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.

Getting into an accident is the last thing someone expects to happen, but when it happened to me I am grateful to have known about Tripp Segars with Diaz Law Firm. He walked me through the whole process and answered any questions I had. He fought to get me everything I needed to recover. I truly appreciate the time and dedication he put into my case. I would recommend him for anyone who needs help with a personal injury case.
I was recommended to Diaz Law firm after getting into a car Accident in 2024, after connecting with them, they were able to handle my case quickly and efficiently with the most satisfactory results that I could ask for.
