East New York City CPAP Recall Settlement — Check Your Settlement Eligibility

Updated April 2026

East New York City Quick Facts

Were You a East New York City CPAP User Affected by the Philips Recall?

Philips Respironics recalled over 15 million CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilator devices in June 2021 due to degrading PE-PUR foam that released toxic particles and chemical gases into users' airways. If you used a recalled Philips CPAP device while living in or near East New York City, you may be eligible for compensation through one or both of the following settlement tracks:

  • Economic Loss Track ($445M): You owned a recalled device. No health problems required. Your device is now worthless — that's compensable.
  • Personal Injury Track ($1.1B): You developed health conditions — cancer, respiratory damage, or other injuries — from breathing foam particles and chemical gases.

Filing Deadline for East New York City Residents

As a resident of East New York City, New York, your claims are governed by New York's product liability statute of limitations of 3 years. New York has a 3-year statute of limitations for product liability personal injury claims. The discovery rule may apply where the injury was latent. Economic loss (property damage) claims may follow a different timeline.

The discovery rule is critical: Many $East New York City CPAP users only connected their health problems to their recalled device after the June 2021 recall announcement — meaning their statute of limitations clock may have started then, not when health problems first appeared.
