About the Philips CPAP Machines litigation

In June 2021, one of the largest medical device recalls in recent history was announced: millions of CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator machines were recalled because their polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound-abatement foam could degrade, releasing particles and volatile organic compounds directly into the device's air pathway.

Users report respiratory injuries, chronic sinus problems, and cancers they attribute to years of nightly exposure. Lawsuits allege the manufacturer knew about foam degradation complaints long before issuing the recall.

If you used a recalled CPAP or BiPAP machine and experienced respiratory illness, cancer, or other injuries, you may be entitled to compensation. Start with a free case review today.

Philips CPAP Machines FAQ

How do I know if my machine was recalled?

The recall covered specific models manufactured before April 2021. Your device's serial number can be checked against the manufacturer's recall registry; an intake specialist can help.

I registered my device with the manufacturer. Is that enough?

Registering for the recall remedy is separate from filing an injury claim. Registration does not waive your right to pursue compensation for injuries.

What if I don't have the machine anymore?

You may still qualify. Prescription records, durable medical equipment invoices, and insurance records can establish which device you used.
