Who is eligible to make a Philips CPAP recall claim in Honolulu or file a CPAP cancer lawsuit?

Any individual who has developed cancer in Honolulu after using a recalled BiPAP, CPAP or ventilator device may be eligible to make a Philips ventilator recall claim. In addition, a family member of such a person may also be eligible to file a CPAP cancer lawsuit in Honolulu.

Who faces the highest risk for developing cancer in Honolulu from a BiPAP, CPAP or ventilator on the Philips cancer recall?

Anyone in Honolulu who had made use of one of the recalled Philips breathing machines may be in danger of developing cancer. Each of these devices, including life-supporting ventilators and CPAP machines and BiPAP machines for sleep apnea, contain a foam part that can degrade and release toxic substances. The Philips BiPAP recall affected between 3 and 4 million devices, some of which are issued to individual Honolulu patients for home use and some of which are used in hospital settings for multiple patients in succession.

Patients in Honolulu reliant on a recalled Philips breathing machine for life support need to be transferred to an alternative ventilator if possible.

How much time do I have to file a BIPAP, CPAP or ventilator recall lawsuit against Philips in Honolulu?

For specific time limits for your Honolulu claim, please fill out the form at right and one of our attorneys will contact you as quickly as possible, usually within the hour.

Aren't most drug and products liability lawsuits just class action lawsuits where the plaintiff receives very little money?

It is likely that CPAP, BiPAP and ventilator recall claims filed in Honolulu will be consolidated together with others from around the nation as MDL, or Multi-District Litigation, where each plaintiff receives a settlement based upon the individual injuries and damages incurred by each plaintiff. This process increases the efficiency of processing vast numbers of cases against a corporation, all related to one dangerous medical device.

We're not the type of people who sue; do we really need to file a lawsuit?

If a member of your family suffered a serious injury or health problem as a result of a defective product or dangerous drug, long-term, or even life-long, medical care may be required. This could be incredibly expensive and since medical costs are continually rising may be largely unknown at the time of settlement or trial. If a member of your family died due to a defective product or dangerous drug, no amount of money can undo that wrong. It is our fervent hope that every defective products, drug or other medication lawsuit we file can serve to make the manufacturer take note of the loss and pain its product has caused. When that fails to make a company take action in the form of a product recall, greater warnings about its use and ultimately making safer products, we rely on their profit motivation to make them do the right thing. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that makes a company become a better corporate citizen.
