Philips CPAP Lawsuits Information for North Dakota
National Law Firm for Philips BiPAP Recall Lawsuits in North Dakota
If you or a loved one has developed cancer in North Dakota as a result of using a Philips BiPAP breathing machine or ventilator, you may have grounds to file a North Dakota Philips CPAP lawsuit against the Netherlands-based manufacturer, Royal Philips. Philips BiPAP cancer lawsuits give North Dakota individuals and families harmed by CPAP cancer the ability to seek compensation for any medical expenses, pain and suffering that have resulted from using this dangerous medical device in North Dakota.
The Philips BiPAP and CPAP recall was prompted by reports from patients who have been harmed by using the breathing machines. These particular machines make use of a foam product known as PE-PUR (or polyester-based polyurethane) in order to dampen the machine's noise. This foam product has been found to break down over time and through exposure to heat and humidity. When the foam breaks down, it can release toxic particles and gases which cause respiratory problems and cancer in residents of North Dakota using the machines.
Critics say Philips executives were aware of the risk for cancer from BiPAP machines and ventilators it sells prior to issuing the CPAP cancer recall. No one knows exactly how long the company has been aware of this danger, or how many people in North Dakota may have been harmed as a result of corporate negligence. Approximately 3-4 million Philips breathing machines, including Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), Bilateral Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) machines, and life-supporting mechanical ventilators, are included in this global recall. All users in North Dakota not reliant on the machine for life support were told to halt use of the device immediately. For patients dependent on mechanical ventilators for life support in North Dakota, providers are instructed to find an alternative breathing machine when possible.
Philips is a major global manufacturer of CPAP and BiPAP breathing machines. Based in the Netherlands and helmed by CEO Frans Van Houten, Philips garnered annual revenue of more than $23 billion in 2020. Van Houten himself reaped over $7 million in cash and other compensation that year. Critics say there is no excuse for a company of this magnitude and such substantial resources to make an oversight that results in exposing 3-4 million patients to cancer, and local residents in North Dakota agree.
