NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 15, 2021 / Do you or a loved one use a Philips (NYSE:PHG) ventilator or sleep apnea CPAP machine?
On June 14, 2021, Philips issued a recall of some of its sleep and respiratory care devices due to serious health concerns. The product recall applies to Philip's Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (Bi-Level PAP) and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices as well as its mechanical ventilators. The health risk is related to the polyester-based polyurethane sound abatement foam used in these devices. Philips said that the foam can degenerate and release dangerous elements, that if inhaled can cause inflammation, irritation, headaches or even cancer.
Philips announced that those using the ventilators to sustain life should not alter their prescribed therapy until they've talked to their physician, with others using bi-level PAP and CPAC devices should discontinue their use and talk to their doctor, the company said.
Anyone who used a Philips Bi-Level PAP or CPAP machine may be eligible for compensation.
