Product recalls are often issued when a product that has gone to market is deemed unsafe for one reason or another. In 2021, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) issued a recall on certain Philips medical device products. These Philips brand devices are used to help aid breathing and are often used in hospitals, nursing homes, and with older patients. However, defects in the product can cause harm to users.
If you suffered injuries due to your Philips CPAP, speak with a Chicago product liability lawyer as soon as possible.
The Philips CPAP recall was issued because of a potential health risk discovered with the use of these devices. It was found that the foam used to reduce vibrations and sound in some of these devices can potentially break down. When this happens, there is a danger of inhaling and possibly choking on these loose pieces of foam and other invisible chemicals. This is an ongoing issue that has yet to be resolved.
To date, in 2022, three types of devices have been issued recalls. This list outlines the main devices that have been issued recalls and may not be comprehensive. It is advisable to check the Philips recall website and FDA site to confirm and review the most updated information.
