Phillips CPAP Recall – Cancer Risk
CPAP/BiPAP/ASV Recall Information
Voluntary Recall: Philips CPAP/BiPAP/ASV Sleep Apnea Machines got recalled on June 14, 2021.
What is nice about a voluntary recall is that you have time to make a 2nd product ready to replace the recalled product. However not so nice for the people that are breathing deathly cancer causing PUR foam. I am sure the evidence will show that Phillips knew long before they decided to recall the product that the PUR foam used was cancer causing. (Look into It).
How Many Victims: There are between 1-2 million Phillips CPAP machines in United states. Worldwide recall of 3-4 million machines for our European Mass Tort friends.
We know why the Phillips CPAP’s got recalled: Polyurethane (PUR) foam inside the CPAP machines puts users at risk for leukemia, breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, and many more potentially deadly cancers. We know that PUR is a cancer causing agent, just like gasoline. In fact the foam is often referred to as “Solid Gasoline”.
Problem: So here is the problem in a nut shell. The foam, made from polyester-based polyurethane (PUR), decomposes over time. As it does so, it emits toxic gases that can cause illness, including asthma, headache, nausea and vomiting, hypersensitivity, respiratory problems, cognitive difficulties, and a number of different cancers.
Have you…..
