As a medical disorder that disrupts sleep, sleep apnea can trigger chronic fatigue and a host of other symptoms. Serious cases of sleep apnea increase the risk of a stroke and heart attack. To alleviate the negative health consequences of sleep apnea, research conducted by sleep experts led to the development of a process called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. CPAP machines elevate air pressure in a sleeper’s windpipe by delivering a consistent flow of oxygen.
Philips Respironics represents the leading manufacturer of CPAP machines that help victims of sleep apnea to breathe normally. In June of 2021, Philips announced a massive recall of several ventilators and CPAP machines because of the possible harm the machines caused users. Philips used a polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PYE) foam to reduce the sound and vibrations generated by the company’s CPAP machines. However, the foam had the potential to break down and injure the user.
Following the recalls, many victims of faulty Philips CPAP machines filed lawsuits seeking monetary damages. If you suffered an illness or injury when using a Philips CPAP machine or any other type of CPAP machine, you might have a persuasive enough case to file a civil lawsuit against the manufacturer. Since a product liability case falls under the broader legal category of personal injury, you might be eligible to receive just compensation at the end of the CPAP machine lawsuit process.
