St. Petersburg Philips CPAP Lawsuit Lawyer

Have you or your loved one suffered the negative effects of using Philips’ CPAP breathing machines? A St. Petersburg Philips CPAP lawsuit lawyer with Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers can help you get compensation. 

If you suffer from sleep apnea or another disease that makes breathing difficult, a doctor might recommend using a CPAP machine. Unfortunately, faulty equipment can end up causing more harm than good.

Overview of the Philips CPAP Device Lawsuit

Many patients who rely on breathing machines use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and other breathing devices to help them with their condition. One of the most common CPAP breathing machines is one from Philips, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of breathing machines. However, on June 14th, 2021, Philips issued a recall notice in the United States for millions of these devices. 

The breathing devices used a polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam component to minimize the vibrations and sounds produced while in operation. Over 1,000 complaints were made about the foam breaking down and making its way into the breathing device’s air pathway. As a result, the devices caused diseases such as cancer and other serious respiratory problems to the patients who used them.

Even though the devices are recalled, patients who used them still suffer from the defects. To compensate for this, anyone who used a Philips sleep apnea machine and is diagnosed with a respiratory condition can now file a lawsuit. Our firm is dedicated to getting these victims their deserved recompense.

Patients who are suffering from the effects of Philips’ CPAP devices may be experiencing the following symptoms:

• Sinus infection
• Inflammatory response
• Chest pressure
• Skin irritation
• Eye irritation
• Respiratory tract irritation
• Organ failure
• Some forms of cancer, such as lung cancer.
