Lawsuits Are Being Filed By People That Have Developed Cancer From Using The Phillips Sleep Apnea Device

More than one dozen lawsuits claim that using the Phillips Sleep Apnea machine caused them to develop cancer or other serious lung problems

Wednesday, August 11, 2021 - Severe snoring and breathing problems that prevent getting a good night's sleep are called sleep apnea. Sleep apnea (CPAP) machines are used when sleeping. The device forces oxygen through the nasal passages and encourages normal, silent breathing. According to HealthLine.com, "CPAP machines treat sleep apnea by delivering a stream of oxygenated air into your airways through a mask and a tube. The pressurized air prevents your airways from collapsing, which allows you to breathe continuously while you sleep." There is an assumption that only sterilized, clean air will be delivered into your lungs however, certain sleep apnea machines have been tested and show that there may be a breakdown in the material used to muffle the sound and make the device quieter. This breakdown can cause toxic chemicals and gasses to enter the machine and the patient's lungs leading to developing cancer. Lawsuits claim that sleep apnea machines manufactured by Phillips cause pulmonary fibrosis and cancer, according to About Lawsuits.com (AL). If you or a loved one have developed lung disease and have been using the Phillips CPAP machine you should consider filing a Philips CPAP cancer lawsuit.

Medical problems associated with using the Phillips CPAP machine, including lung disease and Phillips CPAP cancer started to surface only recently in 2021. A lawsuit claims the "recalled Philips DreamStation BiPAP machine caused a South Carolina man to suffer a variety of serious respiratory problems." The sound abatement foam may break down according to Phillips and release "black debris, chemicals and gases directly into the air pathways of the breathing machines," according to AL. Class action lawsuits seek reimbursement for the price of the recalled machine and reimbursement of past and future medical expenses related to the injuries the device has caused. Lawsuits allege the faulty machine has caused a variety of lung problems. Plaintiff Bartholomew McGuire alleges: "exposure to the debris and chemicals released by the DreamStation sound abatement foam may have caused a variety of severe lung problems, including bronchiectasis, the honeycomb of the lungs, early pulmonary fibrosis and other respiratory issues." An individual that has used the recalled Phillips CPAP sleep apnea device should contact a Phillips Sleep apnea lawyer to see if they have the evidence to file an individual claim. Executives at Phillips may have known years ago about the device's defects and did nothing to warn the public. Phillips CPAP sleep apnea cancer lawyers are interviewing prospective individuals that have cancer and have used the device for long consecutive times.

Sleep apnea machines do nothing to cure the condition. Sleep apnea re-occurs in people that have been forced off of the device by the recent recalls. Sleep apnea machines force oxygenated air into the lungs and can cause dryness in the nose and throat that can cause one to have more difficulty sleeping. Others report having a feeling of claustrophobia. Phillips has not offered to compensate their customers for the $1000 cost of the faulty machines.
