PHILIPS RESPIRONICS EUROPEAN
CLASS ACTION

CPAP DEVICES RECALL LAWSUIT - CLAIM YOUR RIGHTS, DEFEND YOUR HEALTH

“SERIOUS, LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES, PERMANENT DAMAGE, OR REQUIRE MEDICAL
INTERVENTION TO PREVENT PERMANENT DAMAGE“

CRITICALLY WRONG QUALITY DECISIONS WHERE TAKEN IN MILAN FOR ALL EUROPEAN
PRODUCTS


OVER 1,2 MILLION USER/PATIENTS
AFFECTED IN EUROPE

IN 2021—PHILIPS ISSUED A FIELD SAFETY NOTICE FOR THE RECALL OF RESPIRATORY
DEVICES

In 2021, Philips issued a recall notice admitting the issue.
Philips manufactured and marketed sleep and respiratory care devices (details)
containing polyurethane ester foams instead of the safer ether foams.



The polyurethane ester foam degrades and disintegrates, leading to its particles
being inhaled and entering the bodies of patients.


Users have been, exposed to toxic compounds that Philips acknowledges can cause
“serious, life-threatening injuries, permanent damage, or require medical
intervention to prevent permanent damage.”


Documents reveal that Philips failed to inform users and healthcare providers of
these risks for many years.


Affected users may be eligible for compensation.


In April 2024, Philips announced it was settling all personal injury cases
pending in the U.S. class action.

SUBSTANCES

WE ARE FILING AN EUROPEAN WIDE CLASS ACTION TO GUARANTEE FULL AND FAIR
COMPENSATION TO ALL EXPOSED USERS

Emotional Distress
Bodily Alteration
Personal Injuries
Wrongful Death



Emotional Distress refers to psychological harm caused by the fear and anxiety
related to the potential exposure to harmful substances from the recalled
Philips devices.



example: a patient learns that their recalled Philips device has been recalled
due to the risk of inhaling toxic foam particles. This news leads to severe
anxiety, fear of long-term health consequences, and sleepless nights worrying
about potential cancer risks and other serious health issues.

Bodily Alteration involves internal physical changes or damage resulting from
the harmful effects of the recalled Philips devices.



example: a patient medical examinations reveal the presence of dangerous
particulates embedded in their body tissues after using a recalled Philips
device. This discovery indicates that the particulates have caused significant
internal damage, leading to permanent alterations in their health, such as
chronic lung issues or other systemic effects requiring ongoing medical
intervention. 

Personal Injuries involve physical harm or illness directly caused by the
harmful substances emitted from the recalled Philips devices.



example: a patient using a recalled Philips device develops respiratory issues,
such as chronic bronchitis or exacerbation of asthma, due to inhaling the toxic
foam particles. These conditions necessitate ongoing medical treatment and
significantly impact the patient's quality of life.

Wrongful Death claims arise when a patient's death is directly attributable to
the exposure to dangerous substances from the recalled Philips CPAP devices.



example: a patient using a recalled Philips device dies from lung cancer that,
according to medical evaluations, was likely caused by prolonged exposure to
carcinogenic foam particles released from the defective device. The patient's
family files a wrongful death lawsuit against Philips, claiming that the faulty
device led to the untimely death.
