Philips recently announced a recall of many of its Philips CPAP machines (a list is provided below) used for sleep apnea as well an some ventilators used for respiratory failure. Philips admitted the machines, including the DreamStation, are defective because some of the insulating foam can get into the air supply and get into users lungs, mouth, nose and throat. That could result in serious medical problems like organ damage and even cancer.

The recalled products contain polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam for sound abatement. This is the product that gets in the airway system and into people’s bodies.

The problem is also that Philips has no definite timeline for replacing the recalled CPAP machines and other devices and may not provide replacements for a year or more, even though patients need their devices to prevent imminent harm. This recall leaves patients without safe, no-cost options and patients are going to be forced to buy Philips’ next-generation product or a competitor’s product—at full price.

Philips and Respironics, part of Philips corporation, market their popular CPAP/BiPAP machine products known as the “DreamStation” product line. They have done so since 2015. Some legal complaints say Philips have probably long known about the dangerous risks that its CPAP and other machines cause innocent people. The complaints are that there are black particles in the machines and Philips did not warn people about the hazard from these machines.

It does not seem like a coincidence that Philips timed its recall to with its launch of its next generation of CPAP products. The new products allegedly do not have the same problem as the old one. So for patients with sleep apnea, the only safe option that Philips offers to its customers—many of whom need and rely on the recalled breathing machines—is to purchase Philips’s newer model, which only profits Philips further.
