If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with an illness after long-term use of a CPAP ventilator, you could be eligible to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer for causing your condition. Find out more about CPAP ventilators below to see if a lawsuit is the right path for you.
Is your CPAP ventilator slowly hurting you in your sleep?
A CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) ventilator is a machine that aids users with breathing obstructions in the upper respiratory tract. It is used by those who suffer from sleep apnea or to reduce the work of breathing in those with acute decompensated heart failure. Because the soundproofing material used to quiet the device breaks down over time, carcinogenic pieces of sound abatement foam have made people extremely sick. Certain CPAP ventilators pose serious illness and injuries to those who rely on them, and can even result in cancer and death.
Known symptoms of the use of faulty CPAP machines include coughing, respiratory failure, and other toxic effects. Consistent use of faulty CPAP ventilators can develop into cancer, renal failure, asthma, and more. Some other issues you may experience include:
Long term side effects of faulty CPAP ventilator use can include a variety of cancers such as lung, nasal, renal, stomach and more. You could also experience a heart attack, upper respiratory difficulties, and extreme pain while breathing.
CPAP manufacturer Philips Respironics was aware of the toxic effects of the soundproofing materials used in their products since the 2000s but continued to produce them. Philips Respironics behaved negligently. As a result, lawsuits all over the country are being filed by long term CPAP users that relied on the ventilators to breathe.
