Washington Philips Ventilator Cancer

Philips CPAP cancer is a life-threatening condition affecting Washington residents that went undetected for many years. It was only in June of 2021, when Philips issued a global recall of more than 3 million CPAP machines, that doctors and patients in Washington became aware of the Philips CPAP cancer risk. A foam substance used for noise abatement known as PE-PUR can break down over time and with exposure to heat and dampness. When it does, toxic and carcinogenic gases and particles are released into the machine's airflow, which are then inhaled directly by the patient. Critics say Philips executives became aware of the danger of Philips CPAP cancer prior to the recall. If you or a loved one developed cancer from a Philips CPAP, bilateral PAP or ventilator machine in Washington, you may be eligible for compensation.

Between 3 and 4 million Philips breathing machines for mechanical life support and sleep apnea are the subject of a global Philips CPAP recall, according to the FDA. A defective part used to dampen the machine's noise is to blame, releasing toxic and carcinogenic gases and particles into the patient's airstream. Millions of patients, including many in Washington have relied on machines listed in the Philips CPAP recall for years on end, only to learn they may have been exposed to a risk for cancer as a result. Patients in Washington using recalled Philips breathing machines have been advised to seek alternative treatment and stop using machines as soon as possible to avoid further exposure.

There is evidence to suggest Philips executives knew of the CPAP cancer risk for some time before Washington residents became aware through the global recall notice. In April of 2021, two months prior to the Philips CPAP recall, the company reported a "quality issue" with many of its breathing machines in an investor update, based on "possible patient impact" reports the company had received. More than twenty different machines were ultimately included in the CPAP cancer recall, all of which make use of the same PE-PUR foam component which is prone to degradation, according to Philips. Royal Philips is a multinational medical technology company based in the Netherlands which manufactures a variety of devices which are used around the world. Philips' annual revenue surpassed $23 billion in 2020, while CEO Frans Van Houten received more than $7 million in total compensation.
