  • As of April 2024, Stark & Stark is no longer accepting inquiries for this litigation.


    UPDATE: Nationwide cases have been consolidated. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) has designated these cases as a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) under MDL No. 3014 – In Re: Philips Recalled CPAP, Bi-Level PAP, and Mechanical Ventilator Products Liability Litigation. The cases will be consolidated before Judge Joy Flowers Conti, United States District Judge of the District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania.

    Stark & Stark’s CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator cancer lawsuit and settlement attorneys are well versed in handling MDL cases throughout the nation. Contact us today, with no obligation, and we can walk you through the details and requirements of this litigation, and your options going forward.

    The United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has announced a recall of certain CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator devices made by Philips Respironics. Philips Respironics was forced to recall these products because they contained polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam – a harmful and potentially cancer causing compound, which was shown to break down and possibly be inhaled or swallowed by patients.

    Have you or a loved one used a Philips Respironics CPAP, BiPAP, or ventilator device and developed severe lung injury or cancer? You may be entitled to compensation. Speak with our attorneys today, free of charge, to be sure.
