CPAP machines help thousands of people with sleep apnea and COPD breathe better at night. Recently, however, certain models of Philips CPAP machines were recalled after reports they emit dangerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as formaldehyde. Now, many patients may suffer serious health consequences, including cancer and respiratory issues.

Craig Swapp & Associates represents patients that have been harmed and subsequently had to have medical treatment after using a recalled Philips CPAP machine. If you or someone you love has been affected by the recall, learn more about how a Philips CPAP lawyer can help you through this difficult time.

Philips CPAP Recall Facts

In 2021, the FDA sent out a recall alert to doctors and patients about certain Philips ventilators, BiPAP machines, and CPAP machines. When the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam used in the devices breaks down, degradation allows particles to enter the lungs through inhalation.

Now, lawsuits are being filed against the company producing the dangerously faulty medical equipment. If you’re experiencing worsening lung conditions after using a CPAP machine, talk about your condition with a lawyer who can help you take action. Your lawyer has the most up-to-date information you need when preparing to sue for your suffering.

What Makes Faulty CPAP Machines So Dangerous?

PE-PUR foam fragments and particles can easily lodge in human lungs, leading to problems much like the toxic and carcinogenic effects of inhaling asbestos. That can lead to mesothelioma and other serious lung diseases.

CPAP machines are used over extended periods of time by individuals who need to manage life-threatening lung diseases, which puts them at greater risk. The amount of time sleep apnea and COPD patients spend using defective breathing machines makes them more likely to inhale harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) than other users.

But no one who uses the recalled Philips CPAP machines is immune to the risk. Philips CPAP machines are also utilized by other groups of patients for shorter periods of time to treat a variety of conditions, including:

Asthma
Pneumonia
Pulmonary edema brought on by congestive heart failure
Other ailments that cause shortness of breath

Any of these conditions could be severely worsened by breathing in these dangerous materials. Anyone with breathing problems that are also experiencing headaches, irritation, or nausea after using a Philips CPAP machine should carefully check the recall list and be examined by a doctor. If you see your machine on the list, reach out for legal guidance.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
