If you or a loved one suffered from reactive airway disease after using a recalled Philips CPAP, BiPAP or ventilator machine, you may be entitled to recover compensation from a CPAP reactive airway disease lawsuit case or settlement claim.
A team of medical device injury lawyers and class action attorneys is investigating potential lawsuit cases and settlement claims of individuals who claim to have suffered from reactive airway disease after using a recalled Philips CPAP, BiPap or ventilator machine.
Reactive airway disease is a term sometimes used by doctors (when they are hesitant to make a formal diagnosis) to describe a wide range of lung diseases or respiratory conditions in which the lung’s bronchial tubes overreact to an irritant, causing asthma-like symptoms such as wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath.
CPAP Reactive Airways Disease Lawsuit Cases
Philips CPAP reactive airways disease lawsuit cases and settlement claims potentially being investigated include claims of patients who, after using a recalled Philips CPAP, BiPAP or mechanical ventilator machine (e.g., DreamStation, C-Series, Dorma, OmniLab AdvancedPlus, REMstar, System One, A-Series, Garbin Plus, Aeris, LifeVent or Trilogy ventilators machines), suffered from reactive airways disease:
- Reactive airways disease
- Asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Chronic bronchitis
- Other pulmonary disease
- Other lung injury or respiratory issue
On June 14, 2021, the FDA announced that Philips was recalling some CPAPs, BiPAPs, and ventilators because of possible health risks, including respiratory concerns, relating to potental inhalation of degraded polyester-based polyurethane foam from recalled machines.
