Philips CPAP, BiPAP, and Mechanical Ventilators

SWMW Law is investigating and/or representing cases related to the use of specific Philips devices (listed below) due to potential health risks identified by the company.

On June 14, 2021, Philips Respironics issued a voluntary recall of certain mechanical ventilators, Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP), and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines due to potential health risks, including cancer.

The recall was issued over concerns that foam liners in the machines may disintegrate or outgas, potentially resulting in the inhalation of contaminants and/or toxic chemicals. On July 23, 2021, the FDA designated the recall as Class I, its most serious level.

Potential health risks associated with the recalled Philips sleep apnea devices include:

  • Cancer (particularly in the kidneys, liver, and lungs)
  • Damage to kidneys, liver, or lungs
  • Sinus infection
  • Cough and chest pressure
  • Headaches or dizziness
  • Upper airway infection

In front of the sofa is a round coffee table with a black metal frame and a wooden top, holding a small plant and decorative items. The room features a light wood floor and a large window with sheer white curtains, allowing natural light to fill the space. A tall green plant is placed near the window, adding a touch of nature to the room. The overall color palette is neutral with shades of gray, white, and natural wood tones.

  • “SWMW did an amazing job! They started the process with my father but during the process my father passed. They were so helpful when it came to us, his children, taking over in place of my dad. They answered every call and were extremely patient and supportive of us. They really did a great job with keeping us informed and educated. They fought for us. I would recommend them to anyone that hears the diagnosis of Mesothelioma. They will fight for you 100% of the way. Thank you SWMW Team for your support and patience! We truly appreciate all of you! – The Anderson’s”
