Injuries Caused by Defective CPAP Machines

According to various reports, many Philips CPAP machines and respirators use polyurethane foam inside the device’s airway channel. With regular use, this foam has been known to break apart into microscopic pieces, which are then inhaled by the user while they sleep. The harm done will depend on how much polyurethane is inhaled and ingested and for how long.

Injuries and illnesses linked to defective CPAP machines include the following and more:

• Choking hazards and suffocation
• Esophageal, lung, liver, and kidney cancers among others
• Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
• Leukemia
• Respiratory failure
• Severe pneumonia

Who Can Sue Philips Respironics?

The ideal CPAP machine lawsuit client will have used a Philips Respironics CPAP, Bi-PAP, or ventilation machine for at least several weeks before later being diagnosed with a severe respiratory illness or cancer. If you have not yet seen a doctor about your concerning symptoms, then please schedule an appointment as soon as possible. If you have not been diagnosed with an injury or illness that has been linked to these CPAP machines, then your case might be difficult to advance.
