What to Do If Your Philips CPAP Machine Was Recalled?
Do you know what to do if your CPAP machine was recalled? Many consumers don’t always know what to do next when they realize that the manufacturer recalled their device. Patients that use CPAP and BiPAP devices need their machines to treat sleep apnea. What should you do?
First, it is important to know that if you develop respiratory conditions or certain cancers after using your recalled CPAP or BiPAP machine, you might be eligible to file a Philips CPAP recall lawsuit. The Philips CPAP machine may cause significant injury and harm to consumers when the foam inside, known as PE-PUR foam, breaks down. This foam contains carcinogenic toxins that may cause a variety of illnesses and cancers.
