On June 14, 2021, Philips manufacturing voluntarily recalled four million CPAP machines, Bi-Level PAP machines, and mechanical ventilator machines. The basis for the recall is due to a dangerous condition that may be caused by the sound abatement foam liners which are made from a polyester-based polyurethane material. This substance is called PE-PUR and can degrade into particles that CPAP users inhale or ingest. PE-PUR can release toxic chemicals that are carcinogenic into the body as well. These chemicals are Diethylene glycol, Toluene Diisosycanate, Toulene Diamine and Phenol Dimethyl Diazine.
Philips issued a press release stating the following dangers about the reason for the recall:
These issues can result in serious injury which can be life-threatening, cause permanent impairment, and/or require medical intervention to preclude permanent impairment.
Injuries which may be attributable to the Philips CPAP, Bi-Level PAP and mechanical ventilator machines are:
- Respiratory irritations and illness
- Headaches
- Lung inflammation
- Lung Cancer and carcinogenic risks
- Adverse Liver and Kidney issues
- Coughs, Nausea and Vomiting

In fact, Verhine Law has actually filed lawsuits and achieved settlements for over 3,000 people who were damaged by defective medical products and drugs.

Verhine Law works nationwide for clients and will file your case in the nationwide MDL court. Unlike regular lawsuits, you will not have the opportunity to file a claim in your local courthouse because of the Federal MDL law governing defective products.
STEP TWO:
You return the forms and verify your Philips machine model. Verhine Law will order your medical records to confirm your CPAP injuries related to the recall. Verhine Law will then file your claim in the appropriate jurisdiction and begin to pursue a recovery on your behalf.
