Background

A class action was filed concerning Philips Respironics sleep apnea machines and ventilators. Millions of these products, recalled by Philips in the United States on June 14, 2021 and by Health Canada on June 23, 2021, were manufactured with a Polyester-Based Polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam. This foam can degrade into toxic particles that users may inhale or ingest, potentially causing serious health issues such as cancer, respiratory damage, inflammation, nausea, and headaches.

The class action focuses on CPAP, BiPAP, and mechanical ventilator devices marketed by Philips and related companies.
