Lawyers Helping People Throughout the United States Who Have Been Seriously Injured by Recalled CPAP and BiPAP Devices

Sleep apnea is a condition that affects millions of people. It can cause a person to intermittently stop breathing while they are sleeping, and this can lead to a variety of health complications, including fatigue, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and liver disease. To prevent these issues, a doctor may recommend that a person with sleep apnea use a CPAP machine. These devices provide a continuous stream of air that will keep a person's throat and airways open, ensuring that they will not stop breathing during the night. However, Philips Respironics recently recalled millions of CPAP machines, as well as similar BiPAP and ventilator devices. The recalled devices contained toxic materials that could potentially cause serious injuries and health conditions for their users.
