Philips CPAP, BiPAP and Ventilator Recall

Philips CPAP Recall

On June 14, 2021, Philips Respironics issued an urgent recall on many of their CPAP, BIPAP and ventilator devices, due to the possibility of degradation of the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound-insulating foam used inside the machines. Degradation of this foam can cause toxic particles and off-gassed toxic chemicals to enter the air pathway. Inhalation or ingestion of these toxins can cause serious or even life-threatening injuries.

Levin Sedran & Berman LLP is investigating potential lawsuits against Philips and has filed one of the first class action lawsuits in response to the Philips recall. Click here to view the complaint.
