    CPAP Lawsuit

    What is a CPAP Lawsuit?

    A CPAP lawsuit refers to legal actions taken by individuals who have suffered health issues due to the use of CPAP devices, particularly those manufactured by Philips. CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machines are used to treat sleep apnea by providing continuous airflow to keep the airways open. However, in 2021, Philips issued a recall of certain CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator devices due to concerns about the foam used in these devices

    The foam, made from polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR), was found to degrade over time, releasing harmful particles and gases that could be toxic and potentially carcinogenic. Users of the affected devices reported respiratory issues, as well as other health problems, including an increased risk of cancer due to exposure to these harmful substances.

    EXPOSURE TO TOXIC CHEMICALS

    As a result, many individuals who used these recalled devices filed lawsuits against Philips, claiming that the company’s negligence in using substandard materials put users at risk. The lawsuits assert that Philips knew about the potential dangers but failed to act promptly or adequately warn users. To resolve these claims, Philips has offered to settle for up to $1.1 billion.

    The lawsuits seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the health issues caused by the faulty devices.

    The Philips CPAP Lawsuit Timeline

    In January 2023, plaintiffs planned to start CPAP lawsuit trials by 2024. Defendants, on the other hand, submitted a plan to begin trials in 2025 or 2026. In February 2023, 62 more cases were added to multi-district litigation after the FDA received new case reports that linked the recall of Philips CPAP and new medical injuries. In September 2023, for people claiming financial losses due to the recall of CPAP devices, Philips agreed to pay $479 million.

    In January 2024, Philips stopped selling CPAP devices in the United States. That April, Philips filed their financial report that provided details of a $1.1 billion settlement due to the rising number of CPAP lawsuits. August 9 was the deadline for reimbursements of machines recalled between 2008 and 2021

    As of January 2025, 824 Multi-district litigation cases are pending about CPAP lawsuits. If you are someone who wants to file a Philips CPAP lawsuit but is confused about where to start, Have a Lawyer team can help you find the perfect lawyer.

    What is Meningiomas?

    A large number of users have been filing CPAP lawsuits after using the products for years. The main culprit is believed to be polyester-based polyurethane present in foam. Due to the low quality of the foam, the degraded foam puts people at risk of organ damage. The gases released were potentially carcinogenic and this has fueled the Philips CPAP lawsuits.

    Multiple CPAP lawsuits claim that Philips knew about the potential risks of their products but failed to inform the consumers about the risks associated with the use of their products. Various cases reported cases of cancer, asthma, cough, chest pain, infection, pneumonia, headache, and dizziness. Even deaths have been linked to the use of these devices, fueling the Philips CPAP lawsuits.
