Philips CPAP Lawsuit

At Access Justice Group, we represent individuals harmed by defective Philips CPAP and BiPAP devices. Philips Respironics recalled millions of CPAP devices in 2021 due to health risks associated with polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam. This foam can degrade into harmful particles and release toxic chemicals that users may inhale or ingest during sleep therapy, potentially causing severe illnesses.

Why Were Philips CPAP Machines Recalled?

The recall centers on PE-PUR foam used in these devices to reduce noise and vibration. Under high heat and humidity, this foam can degrade, releasing particles and gases linked to:

Cancer (lung, kidney, liver, and more)
Respiratory conditions like pulmonary fibrosis
Organ damage and systemic inflammation

Philips initiated a voluntary recall after reports surfaced of users developing life-altering health issues due to foam degradation. Despite the recall, thousands of patients remain affected, unaware of their legal rights or the compensation they may be entitled to.

Potential Injuries from Philips CPAP Machines

Users of recalled Philips devices may have experienced serious conditions, including:

Respiratory failure and chronic inflammation
Cancers (bladder, brain, breast, stomach, etc.)
Kidney disease and liver damage
Severe ear, nose, and throat irritation

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, lost wages, and enduring physical and emotional suffering.

Who Qualifies for a Philips CPAP Lawsuit?

You may qualify for a lawsuit if:

You used a recalled Philips CPAP or BiPAP device for at least six months.
You were diagnosed with a related illness, such as cancer or respiratory disease.
Your condition can be linked to the device’s defective PE-PUR foam.

Our attorneys at Access Justice Group will evaluate your medical records, device usage, and other evidence to determine your eligibility.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Mass Torts?

The statute of limitations for mass torts is a critical aspect that varies depending on several factors:

Type of Claim: Different types of claims — such as personal injury, product liability, or environmental claims — may have different limitation periods.

Jurisdiction: The statute of limitations can vary by state and federal law.

Discovery Rule: In some cases, the statute of limitations begins when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the harm caused by the defendant’s actions.

Tolling: In certain circumstances, the statute of limitations may be paused or extended, such as for minors or in the case of ongoing litigation.

Since the statute of limitations can be so varied, it’s wise to consult with a tort attorney regarding your specific case.
