On June 14, 2021 Philips, makers of CPAP, BiPAP and mechanical ventilators for home use, issued a recall of certain machines because the sound abatement material could deteriorate and cause potential health risks to the users. Simply put, the sound insulation could breakdown and release particles or carcinogenic gases into the system which the user could breath in. Here is the link to read the actual recall notice and get information on how to get your machine fixed. If your health has been affected by the defect in the machine you should consult your treating doctor as soon as possible.
Before you do anything with the machine please take a picture of the serial number label on the bottom of the machine. Both to know the serial number and as proof that you owned one of the recalled machines.
As soon as the legal community has created a plan of action, our firm will be accepting clients who used the recalled machines. At this time, please fill out our new case form on this website and email a picture of the label to staff@gurfeindouglas.com. Please include a description of how, if at all, your health has worsened since using the recalled machine.
