CPAP Machine Lawsuit

CPAP Cancer Lawsuit 

CPAP, Bi-Level PAP, and other mechanical breathing devices are used by millions of individuals to treat sleep apnea. Unfortunately, the breathing equipment they rely on may be spewing harmful poisons and debris that they consume. Toxins and particles from deteriorated foam may induce harmful side effects if inhaled, including respiratory problems, toxicity, and cancer.


Following allegations that the device’s sound reduction foam may decay and emit hazardous gasses and particles that might poison the user, cause severe lung ailments, or increase the risk of cancer, Royal Philips announced a voluntary recall for many of their sleep apnea devices in June 2021.

CPAP Machine Recalled

Background on CPAP, Bi-Level PAP, and Ventilator Recalls

Philips has issued a recall for many Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (Bi-Level PAP), Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), and mechanical ventilator devices. Foam is employed in the devices to assist make the devices quieter. This foam is constructed of polyurethane with a polyester basis (PE-PUR). Over time, the foam can disintegrate, allowing debris and pollutants to enter the user’s airways, which can be dangerous.
