Philips CPAP and BiPAP Recall Frustrates Millions of Sleep Apnea Patients
Philips Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) machines used by millions of people to manage sleep apnea have users worried after a Class I (the most serious type) recall was issued in June 2021. Certain sleep apnea machines and ventilation devices manufactured by Philips were recalled by the company amid concerns over potential risks related to sound abatement foam used in specific CPAP and ventilator devices. Users may have inhaled cancer-causing toxins and off-gas chemicals caused by degradation of the foam. Conditions such as lung, kidney, or liver cancer and heart attacks may result from inhalation of these materials.
