    CPAP, BiPAP, and mechanical ventilators with design defects are the main reasons victims file for Philips CPAP lawsuits. These lawsuits seek to demonstrate that these equipment are responsible for patients inhaling degraded polyurethane foam particles. 

    One such lawsuit is the CPAP sleep apnea machine lawsuit. People who have been diagnosed with respiratory conditions and have used Philips sleep apnea machine for at least 6 months qualify to file this lawsuit. Such conditions include pulmonary fibrosis or cancer.

    What is Sleep Apnea?

    Sleep apnea can be a dangerous and life threatening disorder that can cause recurring on and off breathing.

     Main Types of Sleep Acne

    1.          Obstructive Sleep Apnea

    This is the most common form of sleep apnea which is experienced when throat muscles relax.

     2.        Central Sleep Apnea

    A person is said to be suffering from this type of sleep apnea if his brain doesn’t rely on signals to the muscles controlling breathing.

     3. Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome

    Also known as treatment-emergent central sleep apnea, this type of sleep apnea is said to take place when a person has central sleep apnea and obstructive sleep apnea concurrently.

     CPAP & Sleep Apnea Machines

    When you have a medical condition that affects your life in a major way, your primary focus would be to recover. This is why many people opted to use Philips sleep apnea machines.

    However, instead of this equipment making them better, it made them worse, causing cancer in many cases. It is frustrating to know the equipment you trusted to treat you would instead worsen your condition.

    The Problem with Philips CPAP and Sleep Apnea Machines

    Millions of Philips CPAP sleep apnea machines were recalled because many users were inhaling toxic foam caused by a serious defect in these equipment. Aside from causing cancer, inhaling this foam causes other major health issues. The foam was going through the tube users were using to breathe while asleep, directly entering their systems.

    Apart from causing cancer, many users also reported other symptoms. This included headaches, upper airways issues, coughing, chest pressure, asthma, sinus infections, liver and kidney damage, nausea, vomiting, and increased breathing issues.

    CPAP Lawsuits Caused By A Potential Risk Of Cancer

    Have you recently used a Philips CPAP machine for sleep apnea? And later found to have cancer? Then you may qualify to file for a Philips CPAP lawsuit and compensation. Persons who also suffer from a qualifying type of cancer may also qualify for this lawsuit. 

    However, this is if they have recently used Philips Bi-Level Positive (Bi-Level PAP), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), Philips mechanical ventilator.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, Sleep apnea has the potential to be life threatening and even fatal. This is why victims sought treatment that was supposed to be offered by Philips sleep apnea machines. However, instead of offering help, this equipment worsened victims’ conditions. They also caused them to have cancer in numerous instances. This is why a CPAP apnea machine lawsuit was established. This lawsuit aims to offer justice to victims of this grave oversight. Apart from offering justice, it also seeks to offer compensation where possible.
