[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","text":"In June 2021, the FDA announced that Philips Respironics, a subsidiary of the healthcare and electronics conglomerate Philips, was recalling more than a dozen different models of CPAP machines, BiPAP machines, and ventilators due to reported safety concerns with the devices.  The recall of the Philips CPAP and BiPAP machines is classified by the FDA as a Class I recall. It\u2019s the FDA\u2019s most serious type of recall. In response to the recall, the FDA is evaluating medical device reports from 2009-2021 related to the recalled machines to determine the scope of the problem.  In light of the Philips recall, consumers who used the machines and suffered harm have initiated legal action to determine what liability Philips Respironics may have for the defective machines. Medical device manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their products are thoroughly tested, safe to use, and that consumers are adequately warned of the risks involved in using the device.  If Philips Respironics is found to have failed to fulfill its legal duties to consumers, injured patients may be eligible to receive compensation for the harm they\u2019ve suffered through a Philips DreamStation CPAP recall lawsuit. A defective products attorney at Gartlan Injury Law can evaluate whether you may qualify to seek compensation after using a Philips CPAP machine or BiPAP machine.","name":"Answer Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.gartlaninjurylaw.com\/defective-product-lawyer\/philips-dreamstation-cpap\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question1","text":"There are two primary health concerns related to the CPAP machines, BiPAP machines, and ventilators being recalled.
