About the Philips DreamStation & Other Recalled Respironics
On October 15, 2015, Philips launched the DreamStation. This machine was created to treat sleep and respiratory disorders, and it includes a CPAP, a BiPAP, and a ventilator. The device was widely prescribed and trusted by patients managing sleep apnea and other respiratory conditions across the country.
However, on June 14, 2021, the DreamStation was recalled along with 17 other Philips Respironics machines after the company uncovered a serious defect that could expose users to dangerous chemicals and particles.
Stay in the Know: CPAP Recall Lawsuit & Settlement Information
If you used a recalled Philips machine and later became ill, you are not alone. Thousands of former users have come forward with claims that the company failed to warn them of known risks. Constant Legal Group keeps a close watch on the status of this litigation so we can act quickly on your behalf.
Why Were Philips CPAP, BiPAP, and Ventilator Machines Recalled?
Philips issued a voluntary recall of their CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator machines when it was discovered that the sound-reducing foam poses serious health risks to users.
Foam Breakdown
The sound-reducing foam degrades and breaks down into black particles. These particles can then be swallowed by the user during normal use of the machine.
Toxic Chemical Exposure
The foam exposes the user to dangerous and potentially carcinogenic chemicals that can be inhaled during use of the product.
The breakdown of this foam can cause serious injury or illness, such as cancer. These issues can worsen with the use of unapproved cleaning methods, high heat, and high humidity.
