Philips Faces Class Suits Over Recalled CPAP Sleep Devices
Law360 (July 27, 2021, 3:53 PM EDT) Dutch medical equipment company Philips is facing a flurry of proposed class actions after recently recalling its sleep apnea breathing machines, which the company says may have exposed users to cancer-causing chemicals from defective foam.
The consumers cite a voluntary recall Philips issued in June that affected several million devices meant to treat sleep apnea, a condition that obstructs respiratory airways during sleep.
The most recent suit was filed in Massachusetts federal court Monday by Ellen Osman and husband Daniel Osman, who claim she was diagnosed with lung cancer while using the machine.
