Philips Respironics, a division of Philips company, recalled several CPAP, BiPAP and mechanical ventilator machines on June 14, 2021.
The recall was initiated after Philips discovered that a piece of foam within the air tract of the device used for noise suppression was susceptible to breakdown, causing at least three toxic and carcinogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to be emitted. All of these chemicals are toxic chemicals with a long list of adverse health effects, especially when inhaled. Philips CPAP lawsuits and Philips CPAP class action litigation is currently in the very early stages of litigation.
