Oliver Bell Pivotal in Securing $1.1B Deal Resolving CPAP Injury MDL

In a groundbreaking development, Koninklijke Philips NV and American subsidiaries have reached a $1.1 billion settlement agreement to resolve CPAP injury and medical monitoring claims. This settlement addresses the personal injuries suffered by individuals who used Philips CPAP and other sleep apnea machines with degraded foam. It also included the class allegations for reimbursement of medical monitoring claims. The degraded foam posed serious health risks, including the potential for cancer and other major health problems. The Oliver Bell Group, led by attorney Alyson Oliver, played a critical role in securing this historic settlement, ensuring that those affected by the faulty CPAP machines receive the compensation they deserve for their injuries. This settlement marks a significant victory for personal injury and medical monitoring claims.

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.

The recent $1.1 billion CPAP and the earlier $445 million settlement include three separate cases that have been successfully resolved through the hard work of Oliver Bell Group.

The first case focused on economic losses resulting in a class action settlement. This ensures that individuals who purchased a defective machine will receive their money back. Final approval of this settlement has been granted by the court.

The second case addressed personal injuries caused by the degraded foam, such as asthma, cancer, and respiratory issues.

The third case involved medical monitoring, recognizing the need for ongoing medical attention and care for those affected by the faulty CPAP machines. The medical monitoring class settlement still requires court approval.
