We Help You Fight for Compensation

Recently, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials issued a recall on certain models of Philips CPAP machines. This recall cites the possible health risks noted using their machines. They allege the device’s sound abatement foam may break down and move into its air path. This can cause the device’s user to inhale or swallow the foam. You can speak with a Louisiana personal injury lawyer to help you pursue compensation.

Additional FDA research cites the possible cancer-causing properties of specific Philips CPAP machines. According to this additional recall notice, the breakdown of the sound abatement foam can create black debris and release dangerous chemicals into the user’s airway.

This exposure can:

  • Cause skin and eye irritation
  • Cause respiratory tract inflammation
  • Cause headaches or asthma
  • Damage the user’s kidneys and liver
  • Expose device user to toxic carcinogens

Our law firm represents individuals who used Philips CPAP machines and subsequently suffered adverse health effects. A mass tort case involves multiple injured parties seeking compensation for similar injuries from the same defendant. We help you and others who suffered from the use of these machines hold the manufacturer financially liable for your resulting expenses and losses.

Tell Us About Your Injuries and Side Effects

When you join our mass tort case, our team takes time to listen to you and learn the details of your current medical condition. Tell us when and why you started using the device and how it affected your health. We may request proof that you used a Philips CPAP machine along with:

  • Your subsequent medical records
  • Proof of your injuries and unfavorable diagnosis
  • Results from related laboratory tests

We also want to know about your financial side effects. Provide our team members with copies of your medical bills, prescription receipts, and salary history. We use these documents and your prognosis to assign a value to your lawsuit and to your pain and suffering. When we represent you and others in a mass tort case, our goal is to get the best possible result for the clients who trust us with their compensation case.
