    In early 2018, Philips announced a recall of its CPAP devices. The recall was announced due to a defect that could cause the devices to overheat, resulting in potential fire hazards. This defect may have affected as many as 68,000 devices. Philips urges any customers who have purchased a recalled device to stop using it and contact the company for a replacement.

    Philips CPAP is a device that helps people with sleep apnea breathe better at night. Unfortunately, some people have developed lung cancer after using a Philips CPAP machine. If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer after using a Philips CPAP machine, you may need a lawyer to help you get the compensation you deserve.

    If you are a patient who has been diagnosed with lung cancer and you believe that your diagnosis is a result of using a Philips CPAP machine, you may be wondering if you have grounds for a lawsuit. Philips CPAP machines have been linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, and patients who have been harmed by these machines may be entitled to compensation. To know more about your chances of being compensated, you better seek the legal guidance of a Philips CPAP lung cancer lawyer.

    Two Main Reasons for Recalling Philips CPAP Devices

    Foam

    Foam is one of the two main reasons for recalling Philips CPAP devices. The devices were recalled because the foam insulation on the electrical wiring could potentially cause a fire. The other main reason for the recall is that the devices could stop working properly, which could lead to a loss of air pressure. Philips has advised all customers who own one of these devices to stop using it and to contact the company for a replacement.

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a Class I recall of all Philips Respironics DreamStation and System One devices, citing two main reasons. The devices’ humidification problems can cause patients to experience respiratory discomfort, dry mouth and nose, and increased mucus production.

    Chemical emissions

    According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), chemical emissions from recalled Philips CPAP devices are one of the two main reasons for the recall. The agency said that it received numerous complaints from consumers about an “odor and taste issue” with the devices. It added that the problem appears to be linked to a sealant used in the manufacturing process, which can release chemicals into the air.
