NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein
Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing the victims of
defective drugs and medical devices, is investigating serious
injuries and illnesses that may be associated with certain CPAP
Machines, BIPAP Machines, and Mechanical Ventilators recalled by
Philips Respironics on June 14,
2021.
The Firm is now offering free, no-obligation legal reviews to
individuals who experienced any of the following complications
allegedly associated with use of these recalled devices,
including:
- Cancer
- Sudden Respiratory Failure (Leading to Heart Attack, Heart
Failure, Organ Damage, or Other Injury)
- Lung Damage
- New or Worsening Asthma
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
- Reactive Airway Disease (RAD)
"Patients using these assisted breathing devices risk exposure
to particulate matter or toxic chemicals with the potential to
cause serious lung injuries and even cancer," says Sandy A. Liebhard, a partner at Bernstein
Liebhard LLP. "Our attorneys are committed to ensuring that
the alleged victims of these recalled devices are fairly and fully
compensated for all of their injury-related damages."
What to Know About Recalled Philips CPAP Machines, BIPAP
Machines, and Mechanical Ventilators
An estimated 4 million Philips CPAP Machines, BIPAP Machines,
and Mechanical Ventilators are included in this recall.
According to Philips Respironics (NYSE: PHG), a polyester-based
polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam used as a sound abatement component may
degrade into particles, enter into the device air pathway, and be
inhaled or ingested by the patient. There's also a possibility that
the foam will "off-gas" chemicals that may be toxic. Although
there have been no reports of patent deaths, the company is aware
of possible patient impacts associated with foam degradation.
Consequences of particulate exposure and off-gassing may
include:
- Headache
- Irritation
- Inflammation
- Respiratory issues
- Hypersensitivity
- Nausea/vomiting
- Possible toxic and carcinogenic (cancer) effects
Philips has warned that patients using life-sustaining
mechanical ventilators should not stop using the
device without first talking to a doctor. However,
patients with recalled CPAP and BIPAP machines should discontinue
use immediately and consult their physician to determine the most
appropriate options for continued treatment.
