CPAP Machine Product Liability
On June 14, 2021, Philips Respironics issued a voluntary recall of various CPAP, BiPAP, and mechanical ventilators after the sound-reducing polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam used in the devices was found to:
- Break down into black particles that can enter the device's air path and be swallowed by the user;
- Expose the user to dangerous and potentially carcinogenic chemicals (Benzene etc.) that can then be inhaled;
- The foam degradation can cause serious injuries and may be exacerbated by the use of unapproved cleaning methods (like ozone), as well as by high-heat and high-humidity environments.
