Contact us today for a free case review to see if you’re eligible to file a lawsuit.
The Philips CPAP recall was issued on June 30, 2021. The polyester-based polyurethane foam (PE-PUR) that’s used to reduce sound and vibration from the device while it’s in use can deteriorate and enter the air pathway. This causes the user to inhale or swallow certain hazardous chemicals or toxic black particles from the foam, potentially resulting in serious and sometimes life-threatening medical conditions.
