Vero Beach Philips CPAP Lawsuit Lawyer

Vero Beach Philips CPAP Lawsuit Lawyer

If you suffered respiratory issues, organ damage, or other medical complications from a Philips continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, we could help you pursue compensation. 

Our Vero Beach Philips CPAP lawsuit lawyers can investigate your case, review your medical documents, and file your lawsuit.

The FDA Issued a Recall on Philips CPAPs That Could Affect Your Case

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalled several Philips products, including their CPAP, over concerns with its polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam. Studies show that Philips CPAP users may inhale or swallow this toxic carcinogen, which can cause many life-threatening health issues.

Some complications include:

  • Organ damage, especially involving the kidney, liver, and lungs
  • Irritation to the skin, eyes, nose, and respiratory tract
  • Inflammation
  • Headaches 
  • Asthma
  • Hypersensitivity
  • Nausea and vomiting

The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine also reports instances of upper airway irritation, rhinitis and sinusitis, coughs, chest pressure, and dizziness.
