New Foam in Once Recalled Philips CPAP Machines May Still Be a Hazard | Spring Hill Phillips CPAP, BiPAP and Ventilator Machines Device Recall Lawyers Whittel & Melton

In June 2021, Philips recalled its CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator machines because the toxic foam known as PE-PUR could degrade, posing a risk of inhalation or ingestion by users. This degradation poses significant risks, causing harm to the nervous system and other organs, and may even increase the risk of cancer.

Philips began replacing their nearly 15 million devices that were recalled in September 2021. However, the FDA has now flagged another issue with the replacement foam.

Philips started replacing the PE-PUR foam with a silicone-based foam, and the FDA has now said that the silicone foam used in a device outside of the United States has failed a safety test for what is called volatile organic compounds or VOCs.

The FDA has not yet concluded whether the silicone foam poses any risks to users in the U.S.

The agency has ordered Philips to conduct independent testing on its new silicone-based foam. The public will be informed of the results as soon as they become available.

The FDA has also said that people who have already received their replacement devices should not stop using them.
