Yes. Philips issued a voluntary recall of some of their CPAP medical devices.
Polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam used in some Philips CPAP devices to reduce sound and vibration can break down and be ingested or inhaled by users.
As of March 2023, the FDA Safety Communication on the Philips CPAP recall states that almost 350 deaths have been reported from the nearly 100,000 medical device reports related to the recalled CPAP machines.
To find out if your Philips CPAP or BiPAP Machine is impacted by the recall, check the list of recalled devices on this page and also contact your primary care doctor or another medical professional who had detailed information on your CPAP device immediately.
You may have also received a recall notice from Philips about your CPAP machine.
Earlier this year, Philips set aside $615 million to help settle an influx of lawsuits related to its CPAP machines, biPAP machines, and ventilators. On September 7, Philips reached a deal to settle some of these cases—it must pay a baseline of $479 million to settle economic loss claims, and this number is subject to rise as the number of recalled devices increases.
The $479 million will only be used to settle economic loss claims; hundreds of injury claims and medical monitoring requests are still in ongoing legal proceedings and unaffected by this decision.
Also, the amount each individual receives from this settlement is dependent on what Philips device they filed economic loss claims for.
Although it is separate from the economic loss suit, the Philips CPAP injury lawsuit is still ongoing, and our lawyers are accepting clients from all 50 states. If you or a loved one used a recalled Philips CPAP machine and subsequently developed cancer or other injuries, you may be eligible to file a Philips CPAP Recall Lawsuit.Â

Due to shared questions of fact and law present in lawsuits concerning Philips CPAP devices, these cases have been consolidated under the oversight of Senior U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti in the Western District of Pennsylvania.
Nearly 700 Philips CPAP Lawsuits have been consolidated into the multidistrict litigation (MDL), which aims for organized discovery and pretrial procedures.
In the process of managing this consolidated litigation, Judge Conti has instructed the involved parties to implement a bellwether approach.
This involves selecting a small number of representative claims that will be readied for potential early trials in case widespread settlements for Philips CPAP claims are not achieved.

The ongoing multidistrict litigation involving CPAP lawsuits includes a component related to medical monitoring. In the past two days, Philips, the defendant in these lawsuits, has challenged these claims in a federal court. They argue that the CPAP lawsuits have not provided sufficient evidence of the plaintiffs’ exposure to the toxins in the insulating foam or the resulting injuries that would justify long-term monitoring.
The main argument put forth by Philips’ lawyers is that the “medical monitoring” complaint is based on speculation. They contend that the complaint lacks a specific plan to monitor individuals who may have been exposed to the deteriorated sound-insulating foam in CPAP and BiPAP machines and ventilators, with the goal of detecting potential future illnesses at an early stage.
As part of a larger multidistrict litigation consolidated in Pittsburgh, the lawsuits are categorized into different groups. These categories include claims for economic losses, personal injuries, and demands for long-term medical monitoring to anticipate potential diseases.
Koninklijke Philips NV has allocated $633.17 million as a provision, anticipating a settlement for the economic class action lawsuit in the United States related to the company’s recalled sleep apnea devices and respirators.

Estimates for Philips CPAP settlement amounts range between $100,000 to $500,000 per claim. These numbers are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation for the Philips CPAP Lawsuit, and are merely estimations based on previous mass tort cases and product liability lawsuits involving cancer.

In these updated reports, it has been found that nearly 350 people have died from complications linked to the Philips CPAP, and there have been over 98,000 MDRs.
These deaths and injuries have resulted from the breakdown of PE-PUR foam in the CPAP machine, leading to patients swallowing or inhaling foam and chemicals.

Philips CPAP Recall Information
Philips, one of the leading manufacturers of CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator devices, issued a recall in June 2021, affecting millions of its products.
The recall was due to degraded PE-PUR foam that could release black particles and toxic gases, putting users at risk of inhaling or swallowing them. Philips announced a repair or replacement program for the recalled devices, but warned that it could take up to a year to complete.
In November 2021, the FDA found that the new foam used in replacement machines could also pose a safety risk. Philips attributed some foam degradation to ozone cleaning machines made by SoClean, which led to the latter company suing Philips for blaming them. In January 2022, Philips added the Trilogy Evo ventilators and repair kits to the originally recalled devices.
In September and October 2022, Philips issued additional warnings and recalls for sleep apnea machines, speficially CPAP masks with magnets that could interfere with metallic implants and contaminated plastic parts in BiPAP machines.
It is important for those who rely on Philips CPAP devices to stay informed of any updates or recalls and to seek alternative options if necessary to ensure their health and safety.
What is the Philips CPAP Machine?
A continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) machine is used to treat sleep-related breathing disorders with sleep apnea being the most common of these disorders.
Users hook this ventilation system up to themselves before bed, and it helps regulate their breathing while they sleep and combat obstructive sleep apnea.
Philips, among other things, is a popular CPAP machine producer.
Together they work with ResMed and Philips Respironics to manufacture:
CPAP
Bi-Level PAP
Other types of these machines
Some Philips CPAP machines have been recalled due to a design defect resulting in serious injury to patients.

Recalled CPAP Machines: What Philips Devices are Dangerous?
PE PUR foam used for sound dampening in Philips CPAP devices can potentially break down and be inhaled or ingested by users. Toxic chemical emissions may also be emanating from Philips CPAP Machines recalled by the company.
In both scenarios, all the products recalled were manufactured prior to April 26, 2021, and caused a variety of adverse health effects, including lung cancer.
1. Sound Abatement Foam (PE-PUR Foam Breakdown)
The polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam inside the affected/recalled devices is one of the main causes for the recall.
The PE-PUR foam inside the CPAP machines can deteriorate and particles can then travel through the machine tubes and into the lungs. It’s likely that heat, humidity, and improper cleaning can all contribute to accelerating the deterioration of this foam.
2. Chemical Emissions
The other primary cause for the recall was the chemical emissions that contributed to the increase in lung cancer diagnosis among users. This occurred because when newly opened, the chemicals released into the air could combine with other chemicals in the room in a process called off-gassing, and create harmful toxins.
In turn, these toxins may lead to lung cancer among other harmful side effects.
Which Devices Have Not Been Recalled?
Philips produces several products that use a different foam or may have the foam located in a different, non-threatening location. They may also not have the same chemical emissions as Philips’s recalled products. These machines have been deemed safe and are not included in any recall.
These machines have been deemed safe and are not included in any recall:
Trilogy Evo
Trilogy Evo OBM
Trilogy EV300
Trilogy 202
BiPAP A40 EFL
BiPAP A40 Pro
M-Series
DreamStation 2
Omnilab (original based on Harmony 2)
Dorma 100, Dorma 200, & REMStay SE
All oxygen concentrators, respiratory drug delivery products, airway clearance products
What Should I Do If My CPAP Was Recalled?
Users of recalled devices should contact their primary care doctor or a medical professional immediately. Using a recalled Philips CPAP device can put users at risk for serious injury.
All users of Philips’ recalled CPAP devices should have received a CPAP safety recall notice from Philips. It’s important that you consider your use of Philips CPAP and BiPAP devices before stopping use. Many people use certain Philips Respironics Ventilators for vital airflow during sleep.
If you have been using BiLevel PAP And CPAP Devices, discontinue use of the device and consult with a physician.
If you are using Life-Sustaining Ventilator Devices, DO NOT stop or alter therapy until consulting with a physician.
Injuries Related to Recalled Philips CPAP Devices
Philips CPAP and BiPAP devices have been linked to serious injury and death. These injuries are related to the degradation of PE-PUR sound abatement foam present in the devices, as well as potential chemical emissions emanating from recalled devices.
Foam-related and chemical-related injuries can often be the same.
However, there are a few types that can only be caused by one (1) of the two (2) irritants:
1. Foam Injuries
Lung Cancer
Irritation (skin, eye, nose, respiratory tract)
Headaches
Asthma
Effects to kidneys and liver
2. Chemical Emissions Injuries
Lung Cancer
Irritation (skin, eye, nose, respiratory tract)
Headaches
Hypersensitivity
Nausea/Vomiting

What Should I Do if I Suffered Injuries from a Philips CPAP Machine?
The first thing you should do upon suffering an injury like lung cancer is to discontinue the use of the product that injured you, if possible and if advised by a physician.
You also need to see a doctor as soon as possible. After this has been done, treating the injury will largely be up to you, and how well you follow the doctor’s orders.
If you plan to take legal action, working with a lawyer can help you through a process like this, and make sure it is done correctly and with minimal stress.
Take the following steps:
1. Mitigate Injuries
If you have suffered any of the injuries listed previously in this article, see a doctor immediately. It is in your best interest to follow the doctor’s instructions as well as you can.
