Degraded Foam in CPAP Machines: Personal Injury Claims
Millions of people who suffer from sleep apnea used a device from Philips Respironics, which unfortunately had a serious issue with degraded foam. This degraded foam in the breathing machines caused personal injuries to the users. The FDA warned about the risks associated with ingesting the sound-dampening foam, highlighting concerns such as headaches, asthma, allergic reactions, and even more severe issues. The foam also produced toxic gases, which led to health problems like cancer, lung irritation, and respiratory injuires. Breathing in this toxic foam can have severe consequences for individuals with sleep apnea, such as asthma and allergic reactions. The Oliver Bell Group has successfully secured a $1.1 billion CPAP injury and medical monitoring class settlement for those affected by this issue; providing them with the compensation they deserve for their personal injuries and class claims.
